Section 21 - Flaps (nearly finished right flap); Section 13 - Main Spar (finished right main spar); Section 14 - Wing Ribs (right wing ribs well underway)

Good progress was made this past week, even with taking a few days for a nice vacation and birthday celebration with my in-laws. A few details below (this post is short due to time constraints):

Riveted top skin to spar and ribs (right flap):

Section 13 - Main Spar (Left side completed)

Lots accomplished during the first weekend after receiving the wing kit, including finished this section (left wing only, since I'm building one wing at a time), and starting Section 14 Wing ribs (mostly straightening ribs and deburring holes and edges).

Match-drilled long and short j-channels using pilot holes from main spar flanges:

Section 13 - Main Spar (Wing Kit Delivery and Inventory)

Finally, after waiting far too long (my fault, entirely), I received the RV-14A Wing Kit.  As was the case for the empennage kit, the outside of each crate was damaged ... but none of the parts were affected.  This is a true testament to Van's crating department!  Below are just a few shots of the nearly 8.5 hrs it took to open the crates, inventory all the parts, and put everything in their proper predetermined places. My guess is that this kit will be about twice the amount of work, as compared to the empennage kit.  Holy crap, there are a lot of parts.
