Brief Description:  Assembled horizontal stabilizer.

Today was a long day. I started the compressor at 9:00 and didn't stop till 7:00 p.m. I got a lot done and learned a LOT... I began by setting up the right skin and riveting the nose ribs. Riveting was not that hard, but I did manage to screw a few of them up, so I learned how to drill out rivets right from the beginning. I have one area in the center of the right side that looks a little rough, but I will have it covered when the plane it painted. The rest looks pretty good! I love squeezing rivets, very easy. Bucking is not to hard either, if you have the room. I completed the right half, then started to left half. The whole HS is together now...I will finish the left side tomorrow and hopefully begin the VS before I leave for Oshkosh on Wednesday!!!
