I'm moving right along. Horizontal stabilizer was finished today. Even unpolished it's shiny as all get-out: 
Well, I have to take back my status. As I was parking my -6A after a breakfast flight, a gust of wind took my HS, cradles and all, and deposited them on the ground, ruining the skins. Looks like the structure is alright, assuming I don't screw something up as I drill the skins off. *sigh*

Just getting started
First post on this website. Emp kit showed up Thursday, finished inventory that night, spent all day today working on the vertical stabilizer and this is how far I've gotten.
Very excited to finally be building after so much planning.  |

re: dented skins
Patrick:
I had a similar thing happen to me when I got my wing kit.
I had opened the crates and had the leading edge skins standing on end and left them standing up over night (in my own hangar). I had the empennage finished and all assembled in a craddle sitting right nest to the leading edge skins. The next day I noticed the skins laying on the floor, not even a corner dinged, but while falling over, one skin hit the trim tab on the right elevator and kind of screwed it up. I think it was $25 for the parts to build a new trim tab so it wasn't too bad. Anyway, hangar rash happens so don't feel alone.

Nice job
Rudi,
Your work looks great, keep going.
I have always been inspired by those who are ahead of me.
The pics provide a great incentive to keep pounding rivets.

Instead of putting together an update, I created this video for some family and friends. It'll show the status of the kit and how I organize parts.
