Getting ready for inspection of horizontal stabiliser
 
  
 

 

 

 

26/09/2007 - Getting close now !

With the parts back it was time to do the same with the right hand skin as I had with the left.  Another jig was made and the riveting began.

I was very pleased with the right hand side, it has gone together well.  Some of the primer needs a touch up to two.

 

I used my new bucking bar for the right hand side as well which made it a lot easier to use.  Everyone seems to get one of these and is pleased with the result.  Don't think about it go to this chap and buy one !

 

Tungsten Bars - very small, very heavy...just plain great.  I have clecoed on the rear spar to hold everything straight in the jig that will be taken off for inspection and then later will be riveted in place.  Ok that's if it passes inspection of course...yes I am slightly nervous.
