Brief Description:  Added nose skin to the elevator and misc.

Began the day with preparing to install the nose skins (right and left) to the elevator. This took careful handling and careful alignment taking care not to put dents in the aluminum skin. After installing on the top side, two people were required to slip the nose skin between the spar and the rear skin. After insertion we found that the use of duct tape was very helpful. By attaching a length of duct tape on the nose skin the skin could be pulled tightly against the nose ribs and fully into the position along the spar. The calculations were that 37.5 mm would be under the rear skin and that worked fine. After completion, the nose skin was repositioned to the oustide on top of the rear skin. I am not sure whether the nose skin should be trimmed to an overlap of 10m beyond the rivet line and will call tomorrow about that.

Also added the little tab for the trim actuator for the trim tab and prepared to install the skin on the stabilizer at the next session at which I have a second person to help.
