Horizontal Stabiliser Assembly

Awesome! I get to put all the parts together now to make it look like a part of the plane.



Some of the more astute may have picked up in the previous images that I'd clecoed the outside front ribs in the incorrect location. Well, I didn't pick it up myself until after I'd riveted them in place - not ideal.



No harm done....just some time wasted.......and 6 rivets. The photo above shows the nose rib still in the wrong place. There are photos down a bit further showing them, yes - 'them', in the correct locations.

I'll number the ribs from left to right(in relation to the nose of the plane) - 6 ribs each side which means ribs 6 & 7 are the in-spar ribs.

This is rib 2 (HS-904)...

   

...rib 3 (HS-904)

   

...rib 4 (HS-1004)

   

...rib 5 (HS-1004)

   

...rib 8 (HS-1004)

   

...rib 9 (HS-1004)

   

...rib 10 (HS-904)

   

...rib 11 (HS-904)

   

...and (below) the incorrect version of the outside right HS-905 rib.




Below is where the left HS-905 nose rib should've been installed in the first place...
