Brief Description: Horizontal Stabilizer - 07 - Left HS Section
- Deburred all holes and edges on Left HS section (all ribs and skin). Used hole deburring bit in electric screwdriver to debur holes. - Dimpled all ribs with hand squeezer using 3/32" dimple dies. - Dimpled outside edges of the skin with the hand squeezer and the inside with the C-Frame. The hand squeezer is much easier. There were 3 holes on the center nose rib (HS-707) that can't be reached with the C-Frame or Hand Squeezer. I still need to dimple those. Will probably have to use a bucking bar or some sort of contraption. I knew I should have bought that 3/32" pop rivet dimpler. Time to call Avery's.
- Carpeted a couple 2ft, 2x4's to help support the skins while using C-Frame to dimple.
A couple 2x4's with some cheap carpet on them... Works great, lasts long time.
