I haven't posted in a while. Life has gotten in the way and I haven't done much. I'm almost finished with the HS. All that is lacking is riveting the rear spar. I hope to get that done this week. Then on to the vertical.

  Sep 22, 2019     Prep and prime - (8 hours)       Category: Empennage

I am terrible at keeping this updated. I have worked many days both working on the shop and airplane. Since my last update I have attended a building fundamentals class put on by synergy air in Newnan Georgia. Learned some and met some good folks. Came home and practiced with my son and building buddy, he is camera shy for now.

Spent the evening checking parts. Dropping a rivet in holes to see if all were already match drilled. Found about 8 that had been missed. Clecoed parts together to check everything. Looks ok. Time to take back apart, debur, prime, make sure the ribs are straight and start putting it back together for riveting.
