Brief Description: Hung Horizontal Stabilizer and Started Vertical St
Had to make room to work on the vertical stabilizer. Found a spot just above the door to my shop in which the horizontal stabilizer fit perfectly. Looks like belongs there. Hopefully it won't be too many years that it hangs there. Started riveting the vertical stabilizer rear spar and was having a lot of trouble with my rivet squeezer folding over rivets. It worked great on the horizontal stabilizer, but on the vertical stabilizer the shop head side of the rivet was a bit longer resulting in folded rivets. Why would my squeezer fold the rivets you ask? Well when I repaired it the last time I had problems with it, the new hole to hold the sets was not parallel to the ram of the squeezer, so it was always pushing at an angle. On the short rivets of the HS, it didn't make a difference, but the longer rivets of the VS couldn't handle the angle. Drilled out about four rivets before I decided that it just wasn't going to work and quit in frustration for the day. I'll have to work on getting my squeezer fixed again.
