Empennage progress - Horizontal Stabilizer

3 hrs. completing the inventory for the empennage kit, my son and I jumped right into the first page of the build manual:

Gathering up the parts, we temporarily fastened them together with the appropriate sized clecos (black and copper (5/32" and 1/8").  It went together quickly and was impressed with the "match hole" tooling and parts forming.

I took all of the pieces apart, and made sure the edges and holes were properly deburred...this is important for eliminating future stress cracks/fracutures.  I'm following The Airplane Factory recommendation for priming the mating surfaces.  Used a process of cleaning with Simple Green and scotchbrite pad, then dry, and spray with a self etching primer.
