Horizontal Stabilizer Progress

We spent another 5.25 hours working on the horizontal stabilizer (HS).  We finished the attach angles and made the shims (Vans shipped the missing parts to us).  We assembled the frame, match drilled and deburred all the #40 holes and prepped all the ribs and spars.  We assembled the left half of the HS and match drilled the skin.
This is where we started the day.

After match drilling everything we called it a day.  We will start on deburring, countersinking, and dimpling next time out.
