Finished Horizontal Stabilizer

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.
