Brief Description:  Riveted the vertical stabilizer

Modified the shop stand used for riveting the horizontal stabilizer to accomodate the vertical stabilizer. Both these surfaces are easier to rivet when you can see and reach down into the structure from above. Riveted the ribs and front spar of the vertical stabilizer to the skin. Re-installed the wiring conduit in the aft portion of the stabilizer (to be used in future for routing wires to top of vertical stabilizer). Clecoed the rear spar into place in preparation for riveting. This final riveting will be accomplished with the pneumatic squeezer.
