Ordered the Empennage!

Well, today is the day. I ordered the RV-7A Empennage with electric trim and some practice projects and some tools (Boelube, 3m tape and scotchbrite wheel, 2 practice kits, Aluminum Tool box).  Getting excited!
Been researching deburring methods. Seems critical that all aluminum edges are properly deburred. The rule of thumb is that no metal edges should cut fingers. There is debate on the forums about deburring lightning holes.
Found a great chart
