Tools arrived! Construction started!

Tools arrived today from Cleaveland tools. We spent about an hour to inventory and organize them and then we started on the construction on the vertical stabilizer. We drilled and deburred the hinges, rear spar, and spar caps. T. was a good help with the deburring. 

I am waiting to start riveting until I decide whether to prime or not.  There is a lot of debate over the priming issue and I have yet to decide what would be best for my situation.  Priming would potentially help prevent corrosion and resale value, but it does require more time and would add weight to the airplane. Hopefully I can make up my mind soon.

Time: 3.5 hrs.
