I haven't been good about posting information about my progress, but fortunately I have been good about working on the horizontal stabilizer. At this point, I'm nearly finished with the HS, so I will make an entry to reflect the things I have done. Here are some of the tasks I have completed:
- Notched left and right HS-702 where bends will be located (a rat tail file and a pair of aviation snips makes this a straightforward task - much easier that a unibit). Bent tabs 6 degrees.
- Tapered front spar reinforcement pieces (HS-710 and HS-714), bent them 6 degrees, and match drilled them to HS-702.
- Clecoed left and right HS skin to understructure and match drilled all holes.
- Disassembled everything, prepped and primed spars, ribs, and skins.
- Riveted spar reinforcement bars to rear spar.
- Riveted HS skeleton.
- Began riveting ribs to skin.
