Empennage

Today we dimpled all the holes in the under-structure and the skins for the horizontal stabilizer. The spars and ribs were pretty easy and were managed with the pneumatic or hand squeezer as well as the outside edges of the skins. Donna and I wrestled with the interior holes in the skins though and it took us a while to get the hang of the DRDT-2 Dimpler. But we were persistant and got the job done. Late this evening I primed the 609-PP reinforcement bars along with the 710 and 714. At last the prep work is complete and now we're ready to start doing some riveting.
