The horizontal stab goes together from a framework standpoint pretty quick. All the pieces are pretty much ready to go except for deburing, etc.
Nose and main ribs cleco'ed to the forward spar.
Rear spar cleco'ed on to the main ribs.
The holes in the forward spar had to be drilled with #40, and the rear spar #30.
Next is taking out the main ribs in the centre and putting in the doublers.
These all had to be drilled out to #30.
Next is shortening the main ribs to allow for the doublers. The rib forward flanges are cut off, and replaced with an aluminum L bracket.
Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon...
