Horizontal Stabilizer Skinning - 3 Hours (21.5 Total)

Today I skinned both horizontal stabilizers. While finishing up the second one, I realized that my tightening technique had improved and I should retighten the vertical stabilizer skin. My tightening technique included tying off one end of the rope as if it were finished then clamping or tying the other end to a weight to hold the slack. I then used two pairs of pliers to pull the rope taunt at each lace point. Letting the skin sit for a while in between repeated tightenings also improved the tightness.
