Brief Description: Attaching skin on Horizontal stabilizer
All frame spars/internal ribs/end ribs/doublers from SB have been installed in previous stages. Now time to rivet skins on frame. I clecoed the skin on the right side of the Horizontal. With every other hole open, I installed required flush rivet and used a bucking bar to form the inside of the rivet. The Rear spar was not installed at this time to allow for access to the front spar. First forward ribs were clecoed in place on the skin, then the forward spar was installed and the use of clecoes were used to attach the front nose ribs to the forward spar in 2 locations. then the forward spars were riveted to the skin. After riveting both top and bottom of the forward spa to the skin, the rear ribs were installed to forward spar at the same locations as the front nose ribs and riveted in place with pop rivets.
