I spent the last couple days at a formation flying clinic at Visalia, CA.

The vertical stabilizer has to be match drilled to the rear bulkhead. I ran into some fit problems - the nut plates on the side skins run into the vertical stab. The only way to get the vstab into position is to push the side skins out leaving a noticeable bulge in the skins. I looked at several other builders pictures and they all have the same problem. I'll contact Vans tech support before final assembly to see what they say about this.

I attached the upper skins and Deb helped me rivet one side.
