Empennage

Elevator ( 3 hrs )

Right Rear Spar riveted to Right Bottom Skin per Step 4 & 5 - with some exceptions.  Then Sect 9-18, Finished Right Bottom Skin via back riveting Ribs.

Sect 9-19, Step 1 Left Bottom Skin - 5 Ribs, since 6th is part of Trim Reinforcement Doubler.   Riveted Trim Access Reinforcement & Doubler Brace while adding final 2 Nutplates.   Note:  I add the machine screw during riveting to insure alignment (these are flush, so no interference, etc).


Step 2 Back Riveted 6 Ribs to Right Top Skin.  Started Step 3 - cleco'd LH Top & Bottom Skins with Ribs and Rear Spar so ready tomorrow to blind rivet top and bottom together.  It's beginning to look like an elevator!
