Empennage

Elevators  ( 5 hrs )

Continued Sect 9-09 at Step 3.  Finished Final Drill #40 and #30 for all holes on RH Elevator.  Then marked parts and dis-assembled.

Began Step 4:  Deburr all holes and edges.  Major Task for so few words in instructions!
...all four Skins, all Sparts, Shear Clips,  etc.   So many holes, and both sides of course.  Requires considerable time  - good music helps, along with comedy podcasts.
example skin edged, holes deburred, and scuffed.  Next step Dimples.
Note: I follow this order:  Deburr holes,  Deburr edges, Scuff ONLY surfaces that are mating with "work" done (ie intact Alclad will not be scuffed in open surfaces),  then Dimple (easier to scuff prior to dimple).   Next Acetone clean, and finally spray Primer on specific locations.

Still have 1 0f 4 skins to deburr holes and edges, and Tip Rib Assemblies.
