| Step 1: Deburr the edges
of all HS-1004 Inspar Ribs. Flute (Section 5N), if necessary
, the curved flanges of the ribs until the holes in the flanges are in a
straight line. 01/27/08 Note : It was necessary. |

| Step 2: The two HS-1004
Inspar Ribs which had the four flanges trimmed on Page 08.06 Step 4,
need to be modified further. Use a hand seamier to bend the aft flange
of the ribs open by 9° as shown at the bottom of Figure 1. The forward
portion of the rib must also be bent by 9° as shown at the top of Figure
1. This bend can be accomplished by holding the forward portion of the
rib against a solid surface and pressing down along the bend-line with
your fingers. The part will bend along the bend-line, between the two
notches shown at the top of Figure 1. 01/27/08 |

| Step 3: Deburr the edges
of all the HS-905 Nose Ribs. Flute, if necessary, the curved flanges of
the ribs until the holes in the flanges are in a straight line.
Note : It was necessary. Radius the corners at the forward end of the nose rib flanges (see Figure 2) to prevent them from making small dents in the skins when the ribs are installed. 01/27/08 Note: I used a small notch and bent the forward end of the flange down by 2° + or - (to create a soft edge) |

| Step 4: Put aside all
but two of the HS-905 Nose Ribs. Open the bend
in the aft flange of two HS-905 nose ribs by 9 degrees and Cut a hole in
the web using the dimensions shown in Figure 2. The holes are used for
routing the trim cables. 01/27/08 |

| Step 5: Fabricate four
plywood cradles to hold the horizontal stabilizer during construction.
Make a template by clecoing together a nose and inspar rib.
01/26/08 Note: I used 3/4" plywood and offset the trace line by 3/8" to allow for the thickness of foam backed carpet. |
