Brief Description:  Horizontal Stabilizer Spar Service Bulletin #3

Continued drilling out the rivets to disassemble the horizontal stabilizer. Tonight’s rivets were 1/8” and go thru the reinforcement angles on the top and bottom of the front spar. They were not easy to get to, but I made it harder on myself by reversing some of the rivets when I built the HS. Bob and I had to use the angle attachment for the small air drill and also the rivet removal tool. As the rivets were backwards the rivet removal tool did not always get centered as it was on the shop head in most cases.

After getting the top angle off, I am not happy with a few of the holes that got hollowed out more than just the original 1/8” hole. I will contemplate going up a size on those holes or replacing the parts. Stay tuned…
