Covering: Right Horizontal Stabilizer

I'm reaching the end of covering the smaller items, having just completed the right horiz stab. Next are the two ailerons and then on to the fuselage and wings. Some production time was lost on this item, due to a week-long stream restoration training in NC and installation of my Dad's old furnace in my shop. I wired a programmable thermostat to run the LP furnace, so that I can arrive to a pre-heated shop. This will provide huge incentive to initiate daily work, which is mostly occuring in evenings following kid bed-time. The new setup will also vent all of the off-gas outside. Previously, I just ran a propane space-heater which did fine heating things up quick, but it flooded the room with moisture and robbed the room of oxygen--not the greatest situation.

Thanks, Emmet. I checked out your Av panel on RansClan the other day and it looks simply fantastic! Glad everything worked out getting it cut from the ACAD file.

Looks really good Rob. I just finished a S6 and later this summer will be flying it around the Keweenaw, "I am a Laurium up'er". I'll look you up when I'm up...
