HS drilling
Yesterday was another fun filled day of airplane building. I finished preparing the ribs and got the spars and ribs of the horizontal stabilizer clecoed together and match drilled. This took a whole lot longer than it should have because I had to tweak all of the main ribs just a little where they attach the forward spar. That was most of the day. After that, Tanya took apart the right half, marking the parts as she went, and I setup the jig on the table and got ready to do assembly in the skin for match drilling the skin. This is where it stands. As today is Thanksgiving, there probably won’t be much progress today.
So, you might ask why I didn’t get more done having a whole day. Mid afternoon, my new air compressor arrived. This time on a truck with a lift gate. I spent a few hours setting it up (wiring, plumbing, etc.). It is now supplying all my air. It is even a little quieter than my old compressor. I think the new compressor was just in time as the old one started making some noises that I had never heard it make before.
