Vertical Stabilizer - 1 hr 59 mins (V.S. 17:20, Empennage 38:46, Total 52:12)
Rivet count: 84 (Total 90)
Assembled the rear spar pieces, and then attached the doublers to the rear and front spars. The riveting was slow at first as I was taking my time, but it sped up significantly as the night went on. I'll need to stay focused so I don't repeat the same mistakes from the practice kit due to going fast.
Glad to see progress being made, and tomorrow the pieces will start taking on a shape!
I figured out that in my first month (four weeks), I worked ~37 hrs. This was a low number from my desired pacing, but I'm satisfied, given I didn't have a single weekend to utilize for long hours. Overall I'm happy with the progress, but I know that heading into Nov and Dec, the holidays and work travel are going to seriously hamper progress (I'll be out of town a total of three weeks in December alone!) I'll make up for it in 2014... -M
