Happy Friday everyone. The Camel is starting to look like an airplane. In photo #1 I'm test fitting the stab and making sure it's in its proper location. Center the stab to the fuselage rear and pin it in place. Now measure the distance on each side from the firewall to the rear tip of the stab (photo #1). The measurement should be the same on both sides. If not, adjust as necessary. When it is, draw lines on the bottom of the stab to show where it gets attached in relation to the fuselage. Photo #2 show the view from the stab looking forward. The stab is parallel to the back of the deck former which means it's level. If not, make it so. Photo #3 shows all the stringers are in place and we'll get to the next step on Monday. Tune in then. Bye.
