Much of the metal preparation work on the horizontal stabilizer was done before I primed and assembled the rudder and VS. This weekend saw the start of jigging and match drilling on the rear spar of the HS.
As usual, all the parts are laid out and checked before any alterations are started.
An initial task is riveting a flange bearing between two powder coated pieces to construct the inboard hinge brackets.
Looks just right.
Match drilling the hinge brackets and the rear spar doubler is the first order of business.
