Vertical Stabilizer - 2 hr 15 mins (V.S. 19:35, Empennage 41:01, Total 54:27)
Rivet count: 81 (Total 171)
All-out riveting tonight. Unfortunately, not as productive as last night with pieces close together. Working with a larger piece, it was one rivet at a time, and having to blindly reach in many times. I can see how a rivet-buddy in the future will come in handy. (I hope you're ready, -L!)
I assembled the skeleton and then cleco'd the skin on. Riveted the middle inspar rib, about half of the front spar, and all the nose ribs to the skin. I expect about two more hours of work on the VS tomorrow and then I'll be complete with chapter 6 of the plans. Adios and goodnight. -M

That's an awesome time lapse.
