Brief Description:  Horizontal Stab v2.0 Incl. SB, #9

Started riveting the Horizontal stab - first the rear spar, which is done now, and then I started on the front spar...but that's all for today.

I re-used the VA-146 bearing that I had previously made, but I did go with new nuts, washers and bolts and threw the old ones away as they have been "used" and the bolts stretched. I torqued the nuts to 28 inch-pounds per Van's spec.
