Finished skinning the vertical stabilizer without any problems. Checked all of the nutplates before skinning. (Thought that was a good idea). The fit of the skin was very good and did not have any buldging of the skin at the leading edge. Was pretty aggressive when I rounded the ribs that could have dented the stabilizer skin near the leading edge. Riveting was relatively slow because the plans say to slowly rivet from the leading edge on both sides working toward the trailing edge. Worked OK, but riveting took a bit of time. Will start the rudder on Sat. Have completed a bit of that section while I was waiting for parts. Will visit ORD on Sat. also.
Time - 4 hours
