This weekend I started organizing the pieces for the horizontal stabilizer. This included laying out most of the metal parts, removing vinyl, and starting the deburr process. This section has the most elements, so metal preparation for all the ribs, doublers, and spars will take some time.
Horizontal stabilizer pieces ready to start preparing.
This is the third section I have started without setting a single rivet. Right now I have all the logistics ready for alodining for corrosion protection, but do not yet have a suitable air compressor for priming. The shed is almost ready to go now that the paint booth filter has arrived. I just need to setup the exhaust fan configuration prior to buying the compressor. (a post on the shed configuration will come later).
