Organization, Horizontal Stabilizer and Rudder

Tonight was a bit of a hodgepodge as we moved a few things to our storage site (Darren's).  We then finished up organizing some of the rivets and other key parts.  We also assembled one of the elevator hinges for the horizontal stabilizer (pretty much the last task on the horizontal stabilizer before the inspection.  Finally we resumed work on the rudder.  The part arrived last week and we match drilled, deburred, dimpled and primed the counter balance rib.  Before we called it a night we machine countersunk the counterweight.  We're ready to assemble the rudder on Saturday.

Finishing up unpacking and orginizing the rivets.


I have a feeling there is still lots of riveting left to do...... 


 Time to finish up some unfinished business on the horizontal stablizer.


 The hinge cleco's together and awaiting assembly.

After riveting the hinge together, it was time to get to work on the rudder.
