RV-9A: Project Entry

Riveted in the nose ribs on the left Horizontal Stabilizer skin
I learned my lesson from the doing the right skin. This time I riveted the center front rib into the top side of the left HS skin first and then flipped it over to do the bottom side of the skin. For some reason the skin seems to distort more on the opposite side of the first riveting. Now the skin looks nice and smoothly uniform on the top side of the HS skin, while the bottom side looks a little distorted. Go figure.
