Match drilling horizontal stab spars and skins - 14 June 2008

11.0 hours

	spars and ribs assembled(Full size) I clecoed all the spars, nose ribs, and main ribs together, and match drilled all the parts together.
	Closer picture of assembled spars and ribs(Full size) After match drilling all parts. I disassembled them, and deburred the holes.
	Right hs skin in jig, preparing for skin drilling(Full size) I cut out the airfoil shape in the two pieces of plywood supplied in the kit and screwed them to 2x4's. Then I put the right hand skin in the jigs, and put in the nose ribs. The inside rib was quite difficult to get in, until I fluted the end of the rib some. After that they all went in very easy. Everything lined up perfectly. Quite amazing.
	Removing protective plastic on left hs skin(Full size) Here I am removing some of the blue plastic on the inside of the left hand hs skin. I did the same on the right side previously, but didn't take a picture. After this, I assembled the left hand hs to match drill it's skin also. This time everything went together perfect, no problems putting in any of the nose ribs.
