Brief Description:  Rivet right elevator trailing edge

Installed 3-3.5 rivets from top. Used drill / drill bit to clean out a few holes that still had too much epoxy residue. Used rivet tape along entire length and long back rivet bar.
Practice rivets on spare AEX wedge.
Set every 10th rivet, only half way. Then set every 5th or 6th rivet, again half way. Set rest half way. Finish by turning over and, using a mushroom head do the final set.
Set first rivet from back and everything stayed nice and flush.
Set 5/6, then split the difference, then rest.
Turned over and used mushroom head one time across. Doing one more time.
Everything straight. Shop head side pretty smooth, not doing any more for fear of causing warping / bending / bowing of trailing edge.
