Brief Description:  HS skin riveting

Completed the right horizontal stab up to the point where the 707, 708 ribs and forward spar were rivited together. Lots of techniques learned here. For instance, do the most difficult rivet position first so you can get to it. Not all Klecos are created equal, I'll have more on this later. Rivet tape help prevents a little marring. masking tape on the rivet set helps to keep it from slipping. Sometimes riveting is more difficult than bucking. The 2x rivet gun can't do the job as well as the 3x,. It just doesn't seem to have the kick required to get a good set. Tomorrow I'll trade in my 2x for a 3x.
