Let's get crack'n

 Well I'm back from work and had a bit of a look at the plane today. I managed to lay out most of the horizontal stabilizer parts and cleco those bad boys together. Looks pretty cool and only took a short time really.

Of course it all has to come apart again and be drilled and riveted in stages but it was nice seeing it there. So I took it all apart and updrilled the main spar at the back, deburred it and took off all the rough edges. It's bringing back some, I guess sort of  painful memories, about how long a project like this will actually take and the work involved. During the kit inventory I noted that Sonex have supplied about 1000 rivets. That doesn't count the baffles and other things so just to put it in perspective. That's drilling at the very least another 1000 holes, duburring and finally riveting.  Needless to say,,,,, I have a fair bit of work to go :)   Still that's all part of it ,,,, and I guess I wouldn't have it any other way.

The first part updrilled and deburred. Ready for Rivets :)
