Brief Description:  L-Elev: Construction of understructure

It's amazing how much faster I went through this piece of work on the left elev as apposed to the right! :O Having done it before helps tremendously.

I cleco'ed and drilled the spar stifferes to the spar. I then completed the assembly of the counterbalance sub assembly. I realy struggled with this piece on the right elevator as the counterbalance skin just did not want to match up with it's understructures holes. This time around though, the edge prep'ing, fluting, match drilling and drilling of the counterbalance weight all took about 15-20 minutes.

Assembled the understructure and cleco'ed the skin to it.
