Completing the HS

Hours: 2 Manual Ref: Page 8-13 step 7 Partner: John Post

Due to some “technical difficulties” at the office, I was not able to spend much time finishing up the rivets on the horizontal stabilizer. However, John dropped by to lend a hand. He squeezed off most of the remaining rivets along the ribs on either end of the HS. He also noticed that my squeezer doesn’t keep it’s depth setting for very long, so he re-visited all the rivets I had squeezed in the previous few days to ensure they are all properly set. With that done, I was able to complete the remaining few rivets to finally complete chapter 8 of the plans.
