Kept making excuses for not marking and drilling upper stabilizer skin until I could figure out a fool-proof way to pre-drill the skin and hit the skeleton! Finally came up with a method and marked, drilled, cleco'd, deburred and riveted the upper stabilizer skin. Ran out of rivets with 14 holes to go! Fiberglass stabilizer tips do not fit. They are much too small. Will not install until I use heat gun or hot water to soften and stretch them to fit stabilizer. Other than this small task, the stabilizer is complete.
