After inventorying everything for the tail section with the help of my parents the work could finally begin on the horizontal stabilizer.
I didn't document the parts prep at this stage using the Bosh Aluma Bright and Bonderite 1201 aero chemicals to treat and prevent surface corrosion.
I will add another post specifically on my process for cleaning and treating parts.
I was quite happy with the way the Bonderite adhered to the surface of the parts and produced a consistent finish.

Main spare sub-assembly coming along nicely adding doublers, so far everything has fit with minimal match drilling.
It is extremely convenient to have the current building instructions on the screen allowing me to zoom in on assembly details.
Horizontal stabilizer sub-assembly is nearly complete
Skins are fitting nicely, I sure hope I have enough Clecos to hold everything together.
Evan Brunye has very detailed and helpful video on the assembly of this part.
1.1. Sling TSi Empennage - Horizontal Stabilizer
This part is starting to look like a porcupine
The structure is quite flimsy until all of the skins are Clecoed in place adding a lot of rigidity.
