| Subject: | Skinning the Stab |
the IPL implies that one should completely assemble and cleco the entire stab (nose
and rear skins) then disassemble deburr etc.
The photographs in the assembly CD imply that the rear skins are riveted (except
spar) before fitting the nose skin.
The only down side I see is there will be some difficulties deburring the spar
rivet locations. Probably could gently lift the edge of the rear skin to get the
top surface, but the back of the spar would be closed off. dunno if that matters
too terribly much on as the rivet pretty much crushes any little flakes
or aluminum snikkies.
What have you guys done?

Hi Craig,
I drilled and clecoed the full assembly before doing any riveting (see attached
picture).
I noticed that many of the pictures on the CD are from the assembly of their prototype
and show parts being riveted before they should be or installed in the
wrong sequence. The pictures should only be used as a reference to understand
how the parts fit together. The IPL gives you the correct sequence; and even
then, you need to be sure to read ahead and use some personal judgment on the
best sequence to build your plane.
Good luck with your build.

Craig, when I built the tail feathers for my 601 HD (still under
construction), I did a complete assembly with clecoes and only then did the
deburr/clean/prime dance.
Personally, I think it is better to do it this way as you do all the priming
in one session: I do it in the garage, where the car is the preferred
tenant, so there is some prep work necessary before I do the priming.
So, much better to do it once for the whole assembly.
YMMV...
Cheers
Carlos
