Step 1- Cleco the HS-1014 and HS-1015 Long and Short Stringers assemblies as shown in Figure 1. With a #30 drill, final drill the five outboard holes on each end of the stringers which are common to both stringers. Leave the eight inboard holes alone for now,

 

Insert the two stringer assemblies into the stabilizer by pulling back the skins (not shown in the figure) and dropping them into the notches in the inspar ribs. This will require lifting the entire assembly out of the cradles slightly. Cleco the skins to all of the ribs and stringers.

Step 2- Cleco the rear spar assembly to the inspar ribs, then final drill the holes common to the spar and ribs using a #30 drill. The rear spar assembly is symmetrical; there is no left or right.

Step 3- Cleco the HS-1016 Stringer Web to the forward side of the two stringer assemblies, then using an angle drill, final drill the holes common to the stringers and stringer web with a #30 drill. Match drill the four holes in both flanges of the stringer web into the inspar ribs using the same drill.

Step 4- Final-Drill all skin holes to size with a #40 drill. Try to follow a system of drilling and moving clecos prevent missing any holes.

 

Step 5- Mark the empennage fairing screw holes on the skins and the inboard nose and inboard inspar ribs so that they are not dimpled or riveted later. NOTE: The empennage fairing screw holes are indicated on page 8-14, Figure 1 along the right side of the depicted skin. These holes correspond to holes on the top of the horizontal stabilizer (the HS-1008 Front Spar Attachment Bracket flanges are on the bottom of the horizontal.);
 

Step 6- Mark all parts as you disassemble the stabilizer and deburr all edges and holes.

 

Step 7- Dimple the skins and rib flanges for the exterior rivets. However, do not dimple the holes marked in step 5 or the hole in each small tab of the inspar rib.

Skins dimpled, Have not been getting much work done as as snow blower selling is going at a frantic pace. There is no business here in Utah but am shipping  many blowers to New York area from selling them on Ebay. Check my store at http://stores.ebay.com/id=9365231&ssPageName=L2

Step 8- Machine counter sink the holes in the flanges of the front and rear spars and the 3/32" holes of the stringers.

Step 9- Prime all parts, if desires in preparation for the final assembly.

Step 1- Rivet the two inboard HS-1004 Inspar Ribs to the flanges of the HS-1016 Stringer Web using the rivets in Figure 1.

Step 2- Rivet the two sets of HS-1014 and 1015 Stringer Web using the rivets called out in Figure 1.
