With the nose rib riveted to the horizontal stabilizer skin, things move along pretty quickly. Jim and I riveted the internal section of the skeleton, which went really well. With that completed, I was able to squeeze the perimeter rivets with my hand squeezer. It's cool to see the first section of the empennage finally complete.
