I finished up riveting the horizontal stabilizer!


I also made sure to leave 10 rivets out on the top side inboard ribs as you can see below. These holes will eventually be filled by screws to hold on the horizontal stabilizer to vertical stabilizer fairing.


A beauty shot before I put it up in the rafters of the garage to keep it safe and out of the way.


I did break into vertical stabilizer parts to see what I had already done and what needs to be redone (I had one laser-cut part, the VS tip rib) and then drilled the new VS tip rib to the skin.

I stopped there because we decided to roast marshmallows in the backyard. It ended up being a perfect evening!
