Since the left HS is on hold until I get the replacement HS-405 rib, I started drilling the right HS in the afternoon. Same steps as for the left side, just that everything went much faster this time: Assembling and drilling the skeleton, putting the skin on, drilling the middle rib to the rear spar, marking and fluting the HS-404 and HS-405, drilling the HS-405 to the rear spar and the skin, drilling the front spar to the skin, and finally drilling the intersection of the front spar with HS-404 and HS-405 (where I got stuck with the left stabilizer). Since I didn't take a picture of the HS-404 and HS-405 when I was fluting them on the left side, I took a picture now. You can see the approximate hole positions marked with a Sharpie, so that I can put the flutes in between:
Drilling the intersection was a non-event, mainly because I took much better care of securing everything to the work bench, so that I could use both hands on the drill. If duct tape can't fix it ...:
