1025- H.Stab- p.8-2 step 5-6 & p.8-3 step 1-2

Horizontal Stabilizer - 1 hrs 50 mins (H.S. 4:31, Empennage 56:39, Total 70:35)
Rivet count: 74 (Total 970)

I'm back from the dead!! Over a month off has been more than enough. I was expecting it, but it still sucks.

I riveted the back spar of the H.Stab together tonight. These were the pieces that were primed way back when. -L came by towards the end and even tried at riveting. A bit of miscommunication on my part, and we had to drill it out, but we got it done right the second time around. Hope she's ready for the extensive two-person riveting that will be a part of tail-cone and fuselage... I can now start working on the H.Stab full-time. Over the Christmas break, I looked ahead in the plans for the H.Stab and Elevators, and the next few months will be interesting to say the least!

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!
