Started the
VS. Took three hours to cleco together the VS including the time to cut
out the lightening holes and smooth the spar doubler. |

Took another
half hour to cleco the skin to the frame. Ready to match drill the
skin. |

The VS main or
rear spar is riveted together here. |
 |
|
The forward
spar is riveted together and the skin is prepped for clecos. |
 |
|
Left side
riveted and the right is ready to go. Now it's time to quit for the day.
Also, the beige coloring is masking tape put over the rivet heads prior
to driving. This seems to help protect the metal a bit and provide a
nice finished rivet. |

Rumors are
right. The VS is by far, simpler than the HS. After 15.2 hours, it's
pretty much done except for the fiberglass tips. Now on to the rudder. |
