Brief Description:  Vertical Stabilizer Install

This evening I got things ready for installing the vertical stabilizer again. (After priming the parts.) I completed riveting the rivets fastening the rear bulkhead to the skin. (I'm not sure why they weren't riveted during the quickbuild construction.) I squeezed the rivets on the back and used the gun for the ones inside. After I was finished, I found out that I could rivet quite a few of them with the squeezed reaching in through the access hole. (I re-squeezed the rivets I could reach.)

I also riveted and bolted the up elevator stop on the rear of the plane. (After priming) The rear spar needed a washed glued on because of the slight tilt to the right. I glued one on and left my self a BIG note to remember not to peal it back off down the road.

I bolted the vertical stabilizer back on the plane.
