P. 06-07. Started with priming the spar and rib flanges of the VS. Having fluted the ribs and getting them to lay very flat on the table, I was surprised that they were not in perfect alignment with the skin. I didn't force fit the skin to the ribs, but I did use center punches to align the holes. This was not difficult. I followed the directions to a 'T', clecoeing the skin to the V-stab skeleton, looking for deformation of the leading edge as it pulls up against the ribs. Since I had taken considerable care to radius the narrow ends of the ribs, I was not surprised that the fit was very good. The fit of the VS-1204 fwd skin was also very good. :) All went well and I installed the upper hinge assembly, torqueing the AN3-5A bolts to 25 inch pounds. Does not seem very tight, but that is the torque value called for in the table.
