Horizontal Stabilizer complete

1.5 hrs. This week I was able to rivet half of the top side, and today my son and I completed the remaining rivets.  For some reason I had extra 4x10mm rivets and ran out of the 3.2x8mm.  Hopefully there is enough in the empennage kit to balance this out.

My thoughts so far on the Sling 4 kit compared to the Sonex.  No fabrication!  No pilot hole drilling, and upsize drilling, a lot less debuting, and very little hole reaming is required.  The kit so far is going together well. I'm sure if the kit were home in my garage workshop where I built the Sonex the empennage would be done by now.  But building at my hangar is slow, and mostly limited to weekends.
