Vertical Stabilizer

8-28-01
The rear spar of the skeleton is done. Here the rest of the skeleton is laid out.

The skeleton is finished and jigged. The next step is to drill the skin to the skeleton.

8-29-01
After some drilling, deburring, and dimpling, here is the final cleco version of the vertical stabilizer. Time to start riveting again.

Here the vertical stabilizer is finished and set on top of the horizontal stabilizer - they're starting to look like airplane parts!
