When we made the hinges for the Vertical Stab, one of them came out "stiff". Damaged the parts taking it apart and had to wait for replacements. They came in, and Sharon and I made another hinge. Same result. Called Vans Builder support. They said not to worry and go with it. Makes sense under the circumstances. I also could have used a different bearing, which is the apparent culprit. Oh well...we also went on to finish the rudder.
Kevin came by earlier and did the coverng film removal Sharon and I riveted the skeleton, and then but on the skin. Another piece down.
