Vertical stabilizer progress: 2 hours


  • Clamped vertical stab forward attach plate in place then clamped vertical stab to it and fuselage
  • Aligned vertical stab with horizontal stab and checked alignment with tape measure (many, many times)
  • Clamped vertical stab attachment bracket / elevator stop in place and drilled holes for AN3 bolts. I started with the angle drill through the pilot holes in the bracket then I used the regular drill from the back side to open up and ream the holes final size.
