Brief Description:  Riveting Spar Halves

Enerything on the horizontal stabilizer is ready for assembly.

Started the day by clecoing the front and rear spar halves together using the doubler plates. By very carefully following along on the plans for rivet size and type I started riveting the pieces together. After both spars were assembled i riveted on the hing brackets to the aft side of the rear spar.

I drilled out and replaced about four rivets that i did not like; did a few more later in the day on the ribs. The first few i drilled out did not go too smooth but now i am comfortable drilling out any rivet. Once you get comfortable with it it's no big deal, you also dont try and talk yourself into leaving a bad one. Just have my airdrill and punch nearby - piece of cake.
