Brief Description:  Stab skeleton assembly continues

Today I assembled the front and rear spar of the stab along with the attachment fittings for the stab to the fuselage (6T2-3 and 6T2-1&2). I was about to knock off for the day since it was 10pm but I decided that I would mount the stab ribs to the spars before heading to bed. BIG MISTAKE! I was tired and didn't realize until after I took a picture of the finished skeleton that I had mounted the rear spar with the stab attachment fitting facing the opposite side of the front spar attachments! I have a call into ZAC to see if I can salvage the ribs, or if I need to replace them.

OOPS!  First mistake.  Rear spar (on top) is facing the wrong direction!
