Having completed the vertical stab skin, time to finish off the horizontal ones.
I spent the day riveting the framework, checking the hinge attach bolt tensions and then setting up reading for marking out the skin rivet lines.
Similar to other builders, I found that when I attached the horizontal frames back onto the fuselage after having riveted the fuselage skins in place, the horizontal alignment of the frames was out which will mean using a spacer washer under the top of the forward attachment bracket in the final assembly.
Reassembled framework
Checking the horizontal / vertical alignment over and over.
