Empennage

Elevators (2.5 hrs )

Nancy and I flew our flying club's C172 from Lacon (C75), Illinois to Effingham, Illinois (1H2) on Friday - just for fun.  Visited Mid-America Motorworks (free - w/ lots of Corvettes), and had a great lunch at the Firefly Grill.

So....I skipped building on Friday, but back at it Saturday.  Now with 3 days curing of the Foam Ribs (Tank Sealant/ProSeal ), did the final Root Ribs & Tip Ribs rivets.  Then the T.E. flush rivets using the "RV14 Safety Pin Squeezing Tool".   Tool is critical for reverse wedge on TE.
