Brief Description:  Finally riveting the HS-601PP skin to spar.

It took a while again to really get the feel for riveting the skin to the inners of the stablizer. I got the skin attached to the spar and middle ribs. Did I remove rivets? Of course! About 5 had to be replaced. Not stressful at all now, so that' s a good thing.

This is where finding the rigth parts gets critical, but easy to fix if you get something swapped. I clekoed the rib to the skin, then went from there. The tape in the first photo shows duct tape holding the skin This was a good temporary fix to keep the springy skin together.

Got them all in fairly well!
