6 hours:Long and frustrating day trying to get the HS skeleton to fit the
skin. The nose ribs were very difficult and a web search indicated that this
is a common problem. After a lot of trial and error, some sanding and fluting,
they barely go in. While struggling with them I have nicked the inside of the
skin and the skin holes are probably enlarged.
Then I built up the spar and ribs and could not get several of the ribs to
fit at all. This is not a common problem. After much consideration I was
able to fix one of them by disassembling everything and readjusting the skin
seating in the jig. I need to try that again on the other side to try to
fix the other rib. Very, very finnicky stuff...this was not fun at all.
