I belong to an RV Aircraft builders forum called the RivetBangers. The forum operator recently challenged all the members to set a goal to be reached by New Year’s Day. Not an easy goal either, something you would have to push yourself to attain. Well, I got the flu and missed reaching my goal on New Year’s Day. However, I have finally reached that goal five days after the fact.

My goal was to have my horizontal stabilizer finished. I just finished it this afternoon. I wish all the assemblies on the airplane were this easy to build. This is the second major subassembly of the airplane I have completed. I’ll now move on to constructing the rudder.
