Empennage

Horiz Stab  (1 hr)

Sect 8-11, Steps 1 & 2:   Set up 4 cradles (built earlier) to support LH and RH  #HS-901 skins.   Clampled each at proper location and orientation...for alignment  -- but chose NOT to screw down to table top yet.  (see pics).   Used 2 bar clamps and 2 woodworking clamps to secure each in position, but could still be shifted as needed.   When ready, can screw them temporarily to table top.

Cleco'd the 4 Nose Ribs into leading edge, 2 per skin.   Fit up was good.  Sweet !

View inside.   Kinda distorted, but shows nose ribs.
