Brief Description:  Right elevator #5

The rolling of the leading edges. This part I did not like and I'm not entirely happy with.

I used a 3/4 inch steel pipe, and used the vice grip method and lots of gorilla tape. After rolling both sides, I attached the the skins together. I had slight pillowing on the middle piece.

Took it apart and tried it again.

At the end of it, the right elevator wasn't bad, but did have some pillowing. I tried to uses to JB weld and clamps to bring the pillowing out, but no luck.

I'll be removing the rivets and re-rolling the leading edge in the future.
