Started Vertical Stabilizer



I separated the upper and lower hinge assemply components, then clecoed, final drilled, deburred and primed the parts. Assembled the parts. I discovered after installing 3-rivets in the lower hinge assembly I neglected to install the COM-3-5 bearing. I had to drill and remove the 3-rivets I had installed. It was not an easy task. I need to be more careful and not make that kind of mistake again. I installed the bearing and assembled the parts correctly this time.
