Finished the vertical stabilizer yesterday. I worked on and off through the holidays (more off - with work, family time, Christmas and the annual New Year's ski trip interfering!) but indeed found that this subassembly was far easier than the horizontal stabilizer. I think some of that is inherent in the lower parts count and some is experience (I hope!). Only drilled out two "rivet-miscues" on this segment; lost count on how many I had to drill out on the h.s.. Had to wrap things up with the obligatory photograph of the h.s. and v.s. together - even threw in a few airplane noises for full effect. Now on to the rudder!!
