Vertical Stabilizer

Woke up pretty early (thanks work...?) so went ahead and went to the workshop.

First things first, I checked to see if all of the primer looked good.  Once I was sure of that, I started clecoing together the rear spar.

I then began riveting!

Next came the front spar and ribs.

Skeleton clecoed.

Next, I used a soldering iron to gently melt the plastic around where I would need to be riveting.  This way I could rivet on the skeleton while maintaining protection for the majority of the surface.

And then a lot of riveting in tight places. A lot. Riveting took a lot more time than I expected...
