Horiz Stab (2 hrs)
Cont'd Step 4 on Sect 8-12: Finished 3 more sides along Rear Spar. Pleased with straightness and no waviness.

| Squeezing last few 426 3-4 flush rivets along Rear Spar. |
Removed H.S. from four cradles, and rotated into "flat" position onto carpet over work tables.
Finally riveted center two Nose Ribs, including 5 (x2) rivets to Front Spar using 470 rivets 4-7 and 4-8.
Needed the Offset cup rivet set tool in the rivet gun to reach these. Required increasing pressure several clicks -- seems offset absorbs considerable energy.
Done with Sect 8 ! On to Elevators in Sect 9....
