06/24/2018 Horizontal Stabilizer – Drilling (2 Hours)

It has been a long time since the last update! I caught a really bad cold last Sunday that basically put me in bed for 2+ days. I was able to go back to office on Wednesday but I was feeling dizzy and weak. In fact, I’m still having some coughing as I’m typing this.

Today I drilled all the holes on the HS-00001 doubler and HS-710/714 reinforcement angles. This is actually called out by the plan after drilling the skins, but since I had the skin removed last time to trim off HS-702 flange, I figured why not do it now.

Then I put the skins back on the skeleton and match drilled the skin onto HS-00005 inner rear rib.
