Horizontal stabilizer


The first major sub-component. This actually looks like a plane part.
While building this, and it's not done yet, i gained a lot of experience in handling 2024 aluminum ( or aluminium ), dimpling, priming and rivetting.
While the guidance on priming from Vans is quite vague, I think for the vert stabilizer I'll be more diligent about prepping and applying it over the internal surfaces.
Primer used here is Zinc Oxide out of an aerosol can from Aircraft Spruce
