Brief Description:  Rear Spar of Vertical Stab.

Very productive day at the hangar:

- Finished the flush rivets on the Vert Stab Rear Spar Assy.
- Primed the Rear Spar with Zinc Chromate. Will cover with the SW P60G2 in the morning. I've found that a base coat of P60, then two light coats of Zinc Chromate, followed by another P60 coat looks great and it feels really tough once it dries. Probably too heavy to do everything like that, so I'm just concentrating on the parts exposed to the elements and parts that might be visible through gaps in the control surfaces or fuselage.
- Riveted internal Vert Stab ribs to the forward spar
- Cleco'd the skin to the spar/ribs. Will rivet tomorrow.

Found that my pneumatic squeezer is just too awkward to get to most of the ribs. Not sure if I need a host of different C-Frames or what.

That's about it. More to follow soon.
