Empennage

Elevator  ( 2 hrs )

Sect 9-22 Steps 2-4 for LH Elevator - Outboard close out done.  Finished remaining Rear Spar rivets w/ RV10 bucking bar (those left open to enable lifting skin for outboard riveting access).  Last time I need this special bucking bar...but sure works great.  


I'm glad I recognized Skins go over Counterbalance Skins. (Van's has bold text statement in later page of the Elevator build...but key was knowing this during original assembly with clecos.  Good to read ahead ! )     Fit is "flush" - better than I'd anticipated with this overlap.
