I think seeing the completed front & rear horizontal stabilisers has given me the most satisfaction so far. Not just because of the amount of sanding and prep required, but also because the finished product looks so good and strong. Maybe that's just me....
I probably should've taken more photos of the process, but I guess I got myself into a rhythm and neglected that part. Here is the front spar which is identified by the two groups of nine rivets on the lower edge, with the doubler riveted...
(had my workshop safety boots on)
...and some shots of those awesome AD4 rivets squished by the pneumatic squeezer - have I mentioned how good that thing is??
Hmmm......this doesn't look very good. Better do that one again.
And here are the next ribs I get to assemble. If only they came like that. Soooooo many sore fingers sanding and preparing all these ribs...
