P. 09-09 Completed HS. Installed hinges onto the HS (step 3), then prepared and installed the aft HS ribs. Step 7 requires you to "pinch" the aft edge of the aft skin to have it fit the rib properly. This means to literaly pinch the skin between thumb and fingers. I found it effective to work the length of the skin a number of times, each time giving me a bit closer fit. The final outcome was very good. Then install the skin and move to P. 09-10 to intall the upper and lower horns to the HS assembly. This went well also, torqueing the bolts to 25-30 lbs/inch. I primed the counterbalance weights. I fitted the counterbalance arm, installed the weights, but did not make the installation permanent because of storage issues. Will install later when it goes together. HS complete.
