More work on HS Rear Spar - Clamped the HS411 brackets around the VA146 bearing and clecoed them to the rear spar assembly. Match drilled HS411APP to #30 using HS411BPP as a drill guide. The two holes in the bottom (as shown in the picture) must be drilled with the HS411 bracket removed from the rear spar.

More work on HS Rear Spar - Here is a picture of me smoothing the surfaces of one of the HS609PP support bars to a satin finish with 400 grit sandpaper. I guess Jennifer focused on the TV instead of me.

More work on HS Rear Spar - When working on the support bars I noticed these gouges that must have been put in the material during milling. I called Van's about them and Bruce Reynolds told me not to worry about them since they were not on the top edges of the support bars. I didn't have a warm fuzzy feeling about leaving them without Van's seeing pictures of them, so I e-mailed the pictures to Bruce. I am waiting to hear back from Van's.
