Brief Description:  More r. elevator assembly

Riveted spar backing plates with nut plates onto spar. Riveted counter balance ribs together and riveted skin on ribs. Set up skin in jig and riveted top stiffeners in place. Then riveted spar to top of skin. Some of these rivets could be accessed with the squeezer and others needed bucked. The r. elevator is not my prettiest work. It is thin sheeting and it is tough to get the skin seperated to do the work inside. When I dimpled the front spar and riveted it, speading the skins caused some ripples. Not bad but not my best. I will work to do better setup on the left side.
