Worked on front spar for horizontal stabilizer: 1.5 hours

Match drilled some holes then worked on tapering the reinforcing angles for the front spar. Then went climbing at the North Face of Looking Glass.

Front spar assembly

 

Getting ready to taper the angles on the bandsaw

The tapers turned out good. A couple of things I picked up from the Van's Air Force forums helped out. One tip was to always make sure you have your 2 diameter distance from the hole to the edge. The other was to make the parts slightly bigger than called for in the plans. It seems there is allowance for being a little over sized but not for being undersized.
