Brief Description:  Build dimpling platform, dimple right HS skin

Finally got to the task of dimpling the right HS skin and decided that I needed a good base platform for the C-frame dimpling tool. So, took a couple of hours to fashion the platform seen in the associated pictures. Once that was done, proceeded to dimple the skin. It worked pretty good. No issues of marring or scratching the skin, and the base is very stable. Had a chance to use the Avery pop-rivet dimpling setup. Very creative, and it worked great. Also removed material on HS rear spar to allow elevator control horns to pivot down and contact elevator down stops. Next will be to debur and dimple the left HS skin.
