  • Empennage, Horizontal Stabilizer
  • Hours logged: 3.2

I finished countersinking the spars and stringers today and I washed, etched, rinsed, and dried all of the remaining parts.

I then primed everything on one side, waited for about an hour and primed the other side.

Ready to start riveting!
