Back to work! Ahh, it feels good.
Why a picture of the VS here? Because I finally got the those 2 final rivets shot at the lower hinge. Tried my thin-nose/no-hole squeezer yoke, but that still didn't fit, so I wound up shooting them.
Vertical Stabilizer is done!
Finally starting on the HS! Damn, it's good to be back at work! This is the rear spar, the 8 hinge halves, and the spar strap (HS-906?). The edge cleanup is done. The 906 strap had little boogers on all the edges from where the machine cut it, so I filed all of them off, and then scotchbrited the edge. Clean as a baby's bottom! (cleaner, actually...ever seen one of those messy things?)
This is as far as I got tonite, only had a little while to work. The brace is cleco'd in place, and is ready for the next step, which is doing some drilling.
