Finished horizontal stab rear spar prep: 3 hours

Drilled out holes for the hinge brackets and did the first riveting for the elevator bearing. At this point the rear spar gets set aside for a while. Now on to the front spar.

Used the pneumatic squeezer on the bearing assembly
 

Everything went well except for one rivet that I got a little carried away on. That one had to be drilled out and replaced. Not a hard operation but time consuming.

 


Rear horizon stab spar temporarily assembled
 

This clip is a good motivator:
