Stabilizer

I've been working on the spar for the stabilizer. Here are some photos after it's all drilled and clecoed. Peter Beck's spar is just slightly different from plans in that it uses some .032 aluminum bent over with doublers. Next - need to disassemble, debur, clean, prime and rivet!



















Decided that I will use a spray can to prime some of the parts. Going to use this SEM Gray self-ething primer.
