Vertical Stabilizer p1 | Building a Vans RV-14 Airplane Ep1

[@dabneyoffermein595]

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!

Hello mate. I’m 18 months away from ordering my RV14 kit here in the U.K. and have just come across your channel. Keep up the great work and I’m enjoying it immensely. Superb

[@BlueSkyFlight]

Thank you very much for the feedback. Glad to hear you like it. Let me know how the build goes. I think you’ll really enjoy the process.

[@Torkie9918]

@ Cheers Bob and all the best for 2025. I’ll be watching!!

[@randy-johnkostapapas9944]

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

[@BlueSkyFlight]

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 ...

[@BlueSkyFlight]

Might make it too easy… got to have a little challenge:)

[@wshauck9527]

Great way to write your builder log.

[@BlueSkyFlight]

I agree. Thank you for watching!

[@peteberry6425]

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

[@BlueSkyFlight]

Glad to hear that. Thanks very much for watching!

[@frankforeman5795]

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

[@BlueSkyFlight]

I have them standing by… LOL

Ryan flys used broom handle to peel blue film off skins

[@BlueSkyFlight]

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

[@bobgreer9272]

Used cologr marker others used tape. So not to put wrong rivet in wrong hole

[@BlueSkyFlight]

Yeah, I use the tape quite a bit :)
