Horizontal stab spar ready for priming

The parts for the horizontal spar are drilled, trimmed and deburred according to plans/instructions, ready for priming and riveting. This will be done tomorrow (priming at least).

I purchased a new press drill, the one from Biltema didn't really work as there were no way to lower the rpm without also lowering the torque. The new press drill was almost as cheap (probably Chinese made), but a totally different design, and worked very satisfactory for the bars in the horizontal stab.

I allso purchased a bench grinder for the Scotch Brite wheel, this was really usefull as well, several orders of magnitudes faster than sanding by hand.
