Default Pictures of finished empennage and tail cone

Has anyone finished their RV-14 empennage and tail cone and can post a couple pictures?

That's pretty accurate - one wing spar for my RV-3B measures less than 9 1/4 feet. Since the RV-3B spars meet in the middle of the fuselage, one wing without the tip or the inboard end of the spar is only 95 inches long.

That RV-14 is going to be a big airplane!

I'll try to take some pictures of mine next time at the hangar. In the meantime I ran across this pictures on another builders blog site.

That is exactly what I was thinking, setting that bar pretty high for this mere mortal.

The empennage kit includes much more of the airframe than I expected.

Thanks for the link to the pictures!

Default Empennage riveted


Checking the fit of the Horizontal and Vertical Stabiliser.

A great kit helps a lot, looking good.
