Brief Description:  Right Elevator Work

In this log entry I documented completing the Left Elevator frame and match drilled the doublers. I then took some time to use a soldering iron to trim the blue film on the left elevator along the rivet lines along the inside and outside the skin. As noted in other logs I had some issues lning up the holes on the counterbalance skin. I found the best solution was to follow what other people had done. I aligned the holes as much as possible and secured them into place with clecos. Then I removed the clecos one by one and match drilled the holes individually. When each hole was drilled, I thenreplaced the cleco, removed another and drilled the next hole. I repeated this process until all of the hokles were match drilled. After disassembling the parts, I inspected the holes for any misshaped or widened holes that would make the part require replacement. By forcing the clecos into the holes, I beleive I was able to properly align the parts, and I was rewarded with no unnecessary hole enlagements.
