Brief Description:  Horiz stab assembly

Part 2. Put the elevators on their hinges and positioned the drive ribs and weldment assembly inside the two elevators. Spring clamped the two elevators together using the level as a beam across them to keep them aligned to each other, and drilled the drive ribs to the elevators. Took the elevators assembly back off. Looking back at my notes on how to install the fiberglass tips, I had written to final size all the holes - the fiberglass is fine to drill directly to #30 size. So I final sized the holes in the top side of the h-stab. About 1/2 hour before I quit the power went out so I drilled #30 until the compressor tank air was depleted, but I was getting tired and the garage was getting hot.
