Brief Description: Started skinning the horizontal stabilizer
I gave a presentation on home-building my airplane at a local high school today. I brought a PowerPoint presentation, some videos of flying Sonexes, and a bunch of tools and parts, including my horizontal and vertical tail assemblies. It's great to share!
Tonight:
Bent both of the horizontal stabilizer skins using the same method of "squishing" the leading edge as I did with the vertical stab.
I drew guidelines along all the framing members to show the lines along wich the holes/rivets should go. By laying out the skin with the pilot holes on top, and racking the frame until the lines appeared in the holes, the frame "should" be squared up.
Then I updrilled all the pilot holes (and through the framing members). I'll debur everything tomorrow.
I should be getting my hinges and some AN hardware from Wicks tomorrow. Then I can finish up the vert stab, and have all that I need to finish the horiz stab.
