Wing tip nut plates – RV-14 Build

Tonight I installed the wingtip nutplates on the left wing. I had to order a few extra from aircraft spruce the other day, because I was 5 short of the number I needed.

I found one nut plate where the holes weren’t quite aligned, so I filled one of the holes and will re-drill, countersink, and rivet the nutplate on tomorrow. Otherwise I finished the task.

Clecoed nutplates. The one in the foreground has one hole filled to fix a misalignment problem

Installing the wingtip and measuring the aft edge (where the arrow is pointing). The aft edge needs to be sanded down until it’s flush with the aileron trailing edge.
