Put the ribs and front spar on the rear spar for the Vertical Stabilizer today. Had some difficulty getting the holes lined up on the second side of the skin and probably should have stopped there and done some research, but I pressed ahead with the confidence that Van's Instructions were right and that I had executed them in the correct manner... Got it together, but then noticed that there are a couple outward bumps in the skin. This was caused by the nose of the ribs in the bend of the skin. First learning moment and bump in the road. Should have stopped when it wasn't going together as it should and done some research... Not too bad of a price to pay, but still a price.
My small dents... :( I don't think that they will be noticeable later.
Disassembled everything at the end of the day to do some more deburing and getting ready to prime.
