Brief Description:  Trimmed the elevator stiffeners

I wanted to get the elevators and stiffeners primed with this batch so that I would only need one more round of primer to finish the tail. I cut down all of the stiffeners into segments using the aviation sheers and then marked them out and set aside.

I took a break for a flight lesson(it was my birthday after and the weather in CO was clear and sunny) I enjoyed my first bit of sustained inverted flight in a super decathlon. My flight instructor and I did about about .5 of aero and I hit my limit and started feeling green. We headed back to LMO and after a few minutes of straight level I was feeling much better.

After the flight lesson I trimmed the stiffeners into the rough shape with the left,right,and all direction aviation sheers. Once they were done I broke all edges and took off any tool marks left by the sheers with the scotch bright pad on the grinder.
