November 16, 2016 update: Horizontal stabilizer completed

Horizontal Stablizer is completed as of today.  

Yesterday:  
-->
Substantially completed Section 8-12.  Riveted ribs to rear spar (with universal head rivets and blind rivets) and skin to rear spar.  Max B here helping me.  One rivet (rear spar to inspar rib) had to be drilled out.  Hole was sl oversized so I used a CherryMax rivet (drilled to #27 by design) to replace it.  Turned out very nice.  Also replaced the two rivets on VS drilled out with Vic Syracuse's help with same size CherryMax rivets.  These are a good solution where a 1/8" hole is sl oversized.

Today:  Max helped me do the last 10 rivets (front spar to inspar nose ribs).  Section 8 is complete!
