Empennage :: Vertical Stabilizer
Primed VS ribs, riveted/finished VS
6 Hours

Today was a good day. I got all the VS ribs primed and dimpled the VS skin so it was assembly time! The good thing about the VS is that it goes together quickly and is easy to rivet. The only rivets that you can't squeeze on it are the spar rivets and the middle rib rivets. Here's the VS skinned up and ready to be riveted. Note the rear spar is not in there so you can get the bucking bar inside to drive the spar and center rib rivets.

I didn't stop during the riveting so here it is all buttoned up!

Vertical stabilizer = done!
