Empennage

Elevator (1.5 hrs)

Sect 9-03, Step 3.  After removing vinyl at Close Out Tabs on Left Top & Left Bottom Skins, marked bend lines.  This sets up  Sect-04 Step 1 & 2 for each with set-back (one at 1/32, other at 1/64). Slightly staggers overlap, when assembled.  Used wood block to bend initially by hand.  Used rivet gun on low setting with wood block to easily finish the bend line - not too crisp, but consistent.  Finished to 90 deg with hand seamer.
Bend at edge of table. 
 


Step 3:  Trimmed 1 of 2 Rear Spars for Left elevator.
