  • The airplane building process has officially begun. In this episode I begin the construction of the Vertical Stabilizer for my Vans RV-14a aircraft. This is the first video in the series. In addition to covering the building process, I also cover some of the basic aircraft construction techniques including the use of cleco clamps, a pneumatic rivet and dimple squeezer, match drilling holes and riveting.

    Great job, appreciate all the camera angles and attention to detail. it was fabulous. You are a very meticulous planner no doubt, the garage looks immaculate, the first step in doing a video series is cleanliness because dirt shows up on camera and not even to the naked eye.....because clutter fails every day.

      Glad you enjoyed it. I try to keep the work area clean… can’t always say the same for the rest of the garage:)
      I don’t plan every shot, but just try to keep in the back of my mind what I think is interesting or important and just do a LOT of editing. Happy to see that people like you think it’s coming across well. Thanks for the feedback!

    that was real good, I'll certainly enjoy watching the process of how it goes together, and I liked the explanations on how things work, like the pneumatic rivet gun for instance

    If you haven't already you need to buy some "opps" rivets for when drilling out a rivet goes bad.

    I agree . Don't let the camera distract you .. a mess up could cost your life..

      It’s definitely a good idea to read through the instructions a few times, away from the project, just to build a good mental image of the process. There have been a few times that I didn’t fully get what they were saying on the first read through. And I do have one error that someone pointed out that I’ll be correcting and covering in an upcoming video in a couple weeks.

      @@BlueSkyFlight they have all the parts in cad for there cnc operations...
      It wouldn't be hard to input them in an animation... Of step by step instructions .. including... What rivets to do in what order and everything... To make an interactive instruction guide... I bet this would free up someone answering the phone all the time ...

    Ryan flys used broom handle to peel blue film off skins

      I’ve seen that trick. I’ll probably use it on some bigger parts. Thank you!
