| Step 1: Cleco the
VS-1015 Front Spar Doubler to the aft side of the VS-1002 Front spar as
shown in figure 1. Final-Drill the holes of the doubler and spar using a
#30 drill. Remove the front spar doubler and deburr the holes. 06/01/08 |

| Step 2: Deburr all the
holes in the flanges and web of the front spar. Dimple the four bottom holes in the front spar (see figure) and machine countersink (section 5E) the corresponding holes in the front spar doubler. Dimple the flange holes of the front spar for the skin. 06/01/08 |

| Step 3: Separate The
R-1007 Rudder Stop parts, shown in Figure 2, into individual components;
the R-1007A Striker Plates and the R-1007B Rudder Stops. File off any
remaining stubs and deburr the edges. The striker plates will be used in
the rudder assembly and can be set aside for now. 06/01/08 |

| Step 4: Cleco the
R-1007B Rudder Stops to the upper of the two VS-1010 Bottom Hinge
Brackets as shown in Figure 3. Be careful to cleco the rudder stops as
shown, the hole pattern will allow them to be clecoed in reverse. Final-Drill the holes with A #30 drill, mark and remove the rudder stops, then deburr the holes. 06/01/08 |

| Step 5: Double check
that all parts are properly deburred and prime the parts, if desired, in
preparation for riveting. If you plan on painting the VS-1010, VS-1011,
and VS-1012 Rudder Hinge Brackets when the completed airplane is
painted, you should first scuff the powder coat with sand paper or some
other type of abrasive pad. 06/22/08 |

| Step 6: Rivet (section
5D) the R-1007B Rudder stops to the VS-1010 Rudder Hinge Bracket of Step
4 using the rivets called out in Figure 3. 06/29/08 |

| Step 7: Reassemble the
rear spar assembly as shown on page 06.02, Figure 2. Make sure the
countersunk holes at the bottom of the SV-1008 Rear Spar Doubler are
facing forward. Rivet (Section 5D) the parts shown in Figure 4 using the rivets called out. Leave open the holes for the VS-1007 Middle Inspar Rib and the two top holes of the upper VS-1010 Bottom Rudder Hinge Bracket (these holes are final-drilled #12 when the vertical stabilizer is fitted to the tailcone). 06/29/08 |
