Brief Description:  Vertical Stabilizer

Riveted the VS skin to skeleton. Put the rear spar on the back--I don't plan to run wires up to the top of the VS. Had some trouble riveting the top of the rear spar at the top of VS. I clenched over one of two 1/8" rivets. Drilled out from the rear spar side, where the shop head was (no room to drill the other side). Got a little to zealous tapping out the mfg head and bent the tip rib as well as hopelessly distorting the hole. Bent the tip rib back mostly, filled the bad hole with LP-4-3 pull rivet, and managed to get a decent solid rivet in the other hole. Decided to drill for a solid rivet in the center of the flange. This rivet clenched a lot too, but I decided to leave it rather than risk another ugly hole. Finished riveting the rear spar to the VS skin.

VS riveting is done!
