Short Description: Riveted the elevator frame
|
Short day today. Heel pain is still slowing me down. Rivited the elevator frame and installed nut plates for the trim tab servo. Had a lot of trouble finidng room for a riviter in the outboard corner between the counter weight and forward spar. Ended up drilling out several rivets to change the order in which I installed rivets. Frustrating but was the right call. Rivets would not have gone well otherwise. Started prepping the trailing edge skins for the elevator and was going to cleco skins so I could start work on the trim tab, but it's about time to get the kids off the bus and that's a sweet relief for my heel.
