May 15, 2021     8-2, 8-3 & 8-6: Priming and spar assembly - (3.5 hours)       Category: 8: Horiz Stab
Got through the last session of priming on the HS. Got the long spars and stringers all done. Read about other people getting a rough finish from the air being a little high on the gun. Made me consider the quality of my own finish and decided to turn the gun pressure down to about 20psi. I do feel like the primer went on a little smoother and actually wet out a little instead of drying almost on contact.

Then assembled the rear spar and doubler and riveted the elevator attach brackets. Assembled and riveted the center bearing bracket and installed with the AN3 bolts. Torqued to spec and torque sealed.

Assembled forward spar with caps, doubler and attach brackets. Felt so good to finally have all that fitted together and correct after several set backs. Got the variety of rivets installed per plan. Was able squeeze most but had to buck the ones through the attach brackets because they were just too long.

Installed my retrofit skins strips over the spar flanges and installed the center 9 rivets.

Good day, got a lot accomplished.
