Brief Description:  Vertical Tail Work

In this entry, I mounted the Vertical tail skin to the underliyng structure of spars and ribs. After affixing the skin to the spars and ribs, and securing it with clecos, I then matched drilled the skin on both sides of the Vertical Stabilizer. While assembling the vertical stab, I noticed that I was missing the missing the VS-705 Nose rib, so I had to back order one from Van's Aircraft.


Since I was now waiting for the replacement part, I disassembled the entire structure, deburred all of the holes on the vertical stab spar, then used the pneumatic squeezer to begin dimpling the flanges on the Horizontal Stab spars. I dimpled the flanges of the HS-702 Spar to with the #40 dimple die to accept -3 sized AN426 rivets.
