My wife had more fun than she could have ever imagined today -- we put the horizontal stab and elevator on the Super Rebel. It only took four hours of swearing and every curved pliers Harbor Freight had on sale!

I hate removing and refitting the stab. Your wife and mine would have a lot to discuss as I spent most of my long build time on my own so my amazing wife had to learn about a lot of things like how to rivet.

Here are a couple of pics I took today. Got everything on with castellated nuts and cotter pins. The black on the front of the horizontal stab is from a Cessna 180. Found it new on EBAY at reasonable price, had to cut it down a bit. Used a 3M product to glue it on. I'm missing my heated shop!
