Horizontal Stabilizer Front Spar Completion

Published by olanandkate on

Now that I’m done with the rudder, I immediately started back on the horizontal stabilizer again. I pulled all of the parts out and did a ton of drilling, countersinking, deburring, and prep work. I should have documented better during this process but I was just jamming away while doing this. Below are the pictures from the work with comments below them. Luckily I’ve started getting the priming down. I lowered the pressure to 50 psi and it really smoothed out the paint. I did have to slow down during some of this because I got my second COVID shot and I started feeling pretty lethargic and tired. Either way, enjoy!

All of the riveting done and ready to go on to the next steps!
