Began Riveting Horizontal Stabilizer Skin

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
My buddies Dan and Andre stopped by today to help me begin riveting the skin on the horizontal stabilizer.  Here, we've just finished riveting HS-707 (middle nose rib) to the top of the skin and are clecoing on HS-708 (middle main rib) and HS-706 (tip rib) in preparation for riveting the bottom of HS-707.  We managed to get all solid rivets in the nose rib, though It took all three of us to get the front most rivet into place since the rib wanted to pull away from the skin slightly.



We went ahead and clecoed the entire horizontal stabilizer together and put rivets along one side of the front spar in preparation for my first tech counselor visit tomorrow.  Hopefully, I'll get the thumbs up and can finish riveting this together sometime this week.
