The left HS....Road block - 2 hours



It's a very poor start to the weekend. I'm starting to get sick with a bad head cold and winter is on the way. Not much time to work on the plane as I need to get the yard taken care of. I began to assemble the left side of the horizontal stabilizer. much to my relief the skin cleco'd to the structure very well. I began to mark out holes to drill into HS0005 and HS0006, but I made a slight slip up and did not line up the aft centerline and drilled the pilot holes in the rear spar resulting in holes that were just a bit inside of center in the HS0005 rib. Silly me.
I decided that since I had to order a new R-904 from a slip up a few days ago....I though why not just order a new HS0005. So I stopped for the day and I will pick up in a few days.
