Brief Description:  R-Elev: Initial rivetting of understructure

I didn't have too much time so I snuck into the shop quick just to keep things ticking over.

All I really did though was to use a wet layup (i.e. paint some primer onto the parts to be joined with a brush and rivet them together whilst still wet) and rivetted the end-rib and the counterbalance ribs (E713 and E714) together as well as the spar re-enforcement plates to the spar itself.

I left the nutplates off though as I still have to spray on the primer and as I don't want to spray over the nutplates, I thought I'd leave 'em 'till later! ;)
