Started the rear spar for the horizontal stabiliser. Deburred the components and final drilled the rear spar doubler to the rear spar.
Assembled the centre bearing bracket for the elevator attachment.
Primed and rivetted the rear spar doubler to the rear spar.
These rivets are countersunk to allow the centre bearing bracket to attached over the top.
I made a slight scuff while removing a poorly driven rivet, smoothed it up with a scotchbrite pad and sprayed some primer over it.
Horizontal stabiliser rear spar assembly complete, started the front spar assembly.
The plans call for countersunk rivets around the horizontal stabiliser attachment points. I made a mistake and over countersunk the upper rivet hole. I think I will be able to rivet it and continue building but will get confirmation from Vans.
