Horizontal stabilizer finished!
Today I set last rivets on the horizontal stabilizer - it feels good😊 Total build ended on 63:15. That is inclusive some help. No onto the elevator.
The middle section riveted together. |
Front and back spar clecoed together with the middle section just to check that everything is ok. |
A lot of holes to dimple in the skins. |
I was a bit afraid that it could be difficult to reach the holes near the leading edge, but that was no problem at all. |
The skins onto their cradles to have the HS-905 nose ribs riveted in place. It was a bit difficult and I have to drill out a couple. |
By using tape I "tweak" the bucking bar for the different tasks, setting rivets becomes much easier, and you avoid scratches on surround parts. |
Everything set up for riveting the front spar. I made the cradles quite high so they could stand on the floor instead of the work bench. |
The 2 inboard nose ribs (HS-905) was the last rivets to set. |
All done. |
And stored. |
