Manual Reference:  horiz stab
Brief Description:  still skinning

Finishing riveting the horizontal stabilizer skins to the forward spar and all ribs. However, I'm holding off the final rivet job between the rear spar, ribs, and skins until I get some replacement bolts/nuts and special rivets in from Aircraft Spruce. Reason: I broke one of the bolts in my first neophyte use of the torque wrench. Big thanks to Kent Stitt for dropping by and giving me Torque Wrench 101 academics. I also don't like the way some of the rivets turned out as I mounted the rear spar to the mid-span ribs, so I drilled 'em out and ordered new. Almost done.

On to the Vertical Stabilizer!
