Total build time: 31 hours.
After verifying fitment and shape of the stabilators, I began the up-drilling process. First up is the hockey sticks to the front spar. The silver clecoes are in pilot holes (3/32″), and the copper clecoes are in the up-drilled holes (1/8″.)
Then comes the deburring process. I’m pretty sure that half of the entire time spent building this sort of aircraft is spent deburring (filing down and smoothing all rough edges generated by cutting and drilling aluminum.)
