Today we dimpled the skins, ribs and spars and countersunk the spar doubler. We also prepped the parts (scotch-brited and cleaned) prior to priming. Afterwards, we started assembling the Vertical Stabilizer (VS) rear spar and found out that we had a bag of rivets that were mostly the wrong size -- very frusturating. Luckily they will be accessible after assembly so we can continue to work on the VS. We'll post some pictures soon.
On to the vertical stabilizer.

All of the vertical stabilizer pieces prepped and waiting to be primed.
Post-priming the vertical stabilizer spar cleco'd back together, and waiting to be riveted.
We finished up riveting together the internals of the vertical stabilizer and cleco'd on the skin before deciding to switch our attention back to the horizontal stabilizer.
