Horizontal Stab 3 (0 hrs)

While I was at work today, I decided to post a picture of the hole I had drilled in the forward spar reinforcement just as a sanity check on the work.  The hole is fine.

Fortunately, another member on Van’s Airforce noticed that the upper reinforcement angle was installed upside down.  Yikes!  So now I have my first part order from Van’s!  Thank goodness they caught the mistake, I hadn’t even given note to the orientation of the piece beyond the alignment of the holes.

Here’s a link to the thread on Van’s Airforce.

Starting a project like this can be a pretty emotional experience.  Its like anything I guess.  When you start something new there is a lot of apprehension.
