Horizontal Stabilizer Part Duex

Replacement Spar

With my "dimple vs countersink" mistake on one of the elevator spars that leaves me at a standstill for that section.  I suppose I could go ahead with the trim tab but having three separate pieces in progress might be a bit confusing.  With that in mind and my replacement HS spar arriving I decided to jump back to that section for my 'do over'.

The part had to arrive by freight and was nicely shipped complete with wood that will be utilized in the future for other things. It didn't take me long to re-fabricate the parts required and get to the long process of clamp, match drill, cleco, decleco, deburr, recleco, repeat...  I spend maybe just under a few hours doing all this.  To ensure I had no mistakes this time I wrote all over the parts, triple and in some cases, quadruple checked things.

After that it was back to priming which continues to take a bit but I assume will be worth it in the end.
