Continued to flush rivet the skin on the left hand (LH) horizontal stabilizer. Went pretty good. Fast progress. I had one problem in the center rib at the top where it ties to the front spar and the skin. The flange on the center rib droops and doesn't pull up when riveting. Had to drill out 2 rivets and now that the hole is oversized I will put an NAS 1097AD4-4 in it's place. I will use an o'ring on the rivet to keep the flange pulled up and it won't interfer with riveting. My buddy Greg Schroeder is bringing his stash of "oops" rivets to me tomorrow. In the mean time I will work on the RH side.

Progress. The skin (HS801PP is riveted to the center ribs (707/708) and the front spar (702)
