Bathroom break.
Stabilizer parts. Ribs along left, spars in middle. Skins in cradles on right. Stingers off in back left.
Front spar is four layers thick in the center here. The brackets with all the clecos here were hand-cut and are where the stabilizer mounts to the tailcone.
Stefan spent two days dimpling. I finished in another day. More holes that you would guess.
Stabilizer assembled for match drilling all holes. Drilled holes for a least a few days.
Riveting begins. Four day project.
Riveting continues here. Working my way up from the nose ribs, along the spars, and up the inspar ribs to the back.
Marek is in charge of the rivets. He likes to mix and match them and hand me more than one at a time.
Last rivets going in. Quickbuild kit starting to look quite attractive.
