Brief Description: Left side complete, start of right side
I finished riveting the top and bottom sides of the left skin to the front spar and center rib. This was relatively easy to do. I was able to reach the rivets on the spar and ribs with the bucking bar in my left hand and use the rivet gun with the flush set (with masking tape) in my right hand. Once the left skin was riveted to the front spar and center ribs, it was on to the right side of the horizontal stabilizer. Clecoing the HS-706, 707, and 708 to both sides of the skin before riveting the HS-707 worked out much better. The rib was tight against the skin and reaching the rivets with the bucking bar was no problem. These rivets turned out great! - no need to drill out the inner most rivet like I had to do on the left side.
