Empennage

Jan 2, 2016  (catching up in new builder's log)

Vertical Stab (2.5 hrs)

Sec 6-3:   Rear Spar drill, deburr.    Used fluting pliers to slightly straighten VS 704 rib.

At step 5, I used scotchbite wheel to  "radius" forward ends of Nose and Tip ribs…as described in Sec 5.2.  

Note: Next day I repeated...Later, per note/instructions at beginning of  Sec 6-4  to not force fit skin around skeleton, I had to repeat process more aggressively.  Van's tech support confirmed this much removal is typical.
