It’s been awhile since I had to the time to work on the airplane, but I got a fairly big chunk of prep done on the horizontal stabilizer rear spar.

First, I needed to edge-finish, debur, and scuff the rear spar reinforcement bars.

Next up, let’s finish dimpling the rear spar channels.

Finally, I got the bars, channels, and the two hinge bracket doublers primed on my very professional priming station.

This (green) self -tching primer is not my favorite. I’m going to go back to the NAPA stuff once it runs out.

A WHOLE HOUR today. Progress is progress, though.
