Horizontal Stabilizer - 4 hrs 54 mins (H.S. 52:17, Empennage 104:25, Total 118:21)
Rivet count: 634 (Total 2,154)What better way to spend a Monday evening than finishing up another chapter in the build process? Horizontal Stabilizer complete!
Rivets. Lots of them. Finished riveting the skins to the stringers, then the inspar ribs. Lastly, added the rear spar and riveted it to the inspar ribs. Finished up by riveting the skins to the rear spar. I must say it again, the squeezer works wonders for 3- rivets. It's a bit tougher to get the 4- rivets, but for the 3- rivets, nothing beats the control and consistency of the squeezer.
Looks like it'll be a while before I pick up the rivet gun again. Elevator begins with cutting pieces and deburring edges. Yuck! I'll celebrate the H.S. in the meantime. -M
