October 31, 2016 update: Horizontal stabilizer skin dimpling/prep, priming, assembly of front spar skeleton

Today - much accomplished including:

- completed dimpling of both HS skins
- deburred HS skin edges 
- prepped interior of HS skins for priming and removed plastic on outer skins where I will be riveting.
- primed HS interior skins.  I'm priming the skins only where metal touches metal on the interior. 
- placed skins in cradles I fabricated over the weekend, using plywood and aluminum angle. 
- riveted the front spar "skeleton" together per section 8-10
- riveted nose ribs in place and clecoed the skeleton in place per section 8-11.  Used LP 4-3 rivets to attach nose ribs to front spar.
