Brief Description:  Horiz tail tip installation

We were supposed to have the 3rd annual Northeast Sonex Fly-in today, but we got weathered out. So I spent time working on the tail tips.

- Used duct tape to hold the LEFT tip in place while drilling
- Finished drilling for the LEFT tip
- Then installed all the rivets

Started on the RIGHT tail tip.
- Got the new rib made and test fit.
- Drilled all the holes needed to hold the rib in place, with temporary cleco's
- I need to cut of about 1/4" to 3/8" of the root of the tip in order to get the trailing edge to align with the trailing edge of the elevator. I laid out the cut lines but won't cut until tomorrow.

There are 2 pages of pictures for all of the above.
