Finished assembly of the HS - 2 hours

Checked, Checked and rechecked alignment and level. It is very very close. It's difficult to confirm level on the structure without the skin on as everything wants to twist, but after 1/2 hour of messing with it, I am 1/16" out of horizontal from one tip to the other. Ends up being about 1/32" each side.

Really not bad for home garage work.

 I finished off drilling all the holes in the front spar outboard of the bend line. I didn't want to take any chances getting holes out of alignment so i set up the drill press on the bench and started to drill the holes. I used a torpedo level to ensure the piece I was drilling was flat to the drill press.

After I was done, I took the assembly apart and checked all the pieces. There was a dramatic improvement with how holes where aligned compared with my first attempt at the front spar. With the exception of the one minor edge distance hole...the front spar turned out near perfect.

Tomorrow I will start the very first round of prepping and cleaning the parts for primer. Now to do a bunch of reading on the subject!!
