Horizontal Stabilizer Skeleton

Nov 16, 2021

 The Horizontal Stabilizer assembly started with the front and rear spar assemblies. The manuals were easy to follow and the process straight forward.  Then it was time to sort out which ribs were which and ensure the rib attach sequence was accurate.  

Having separated the part numbers, I found the process of identifying each part easier than originally  anticipated.  In addition to the hole patterns, the sizes helped make identification easy.  

As I have NO build experience, Sling was interested to see how understandable and intuitive the manuals were for me. One discussion we had was regarding how people instinctively read diagrams (left to right or from the middle around like a clock face).  The manual should lay the order out in an easy to follow manner.
