Glued cross pieces & gussets on horiz stabilizer

DETAIL:

This morning I cut some 1/8" plywood into the gusset plates and spar doubler plates.  The spar doubler plates are 1"x2" and are placed only where the hinge eyebolts go.  They slip right into the dado's I milled out of the rear spar.  I also glued on a couple rib strips.  It's starting to look like a stabilizer now!
