Brief Description:  Right Elevator & Rudder

Right Elevator - FInished back riveting stiffeners (top & bottom); added proseal (sealant) to the trailing end of the stiffeners;
Verified with Vans support that the extra holes in E-00001A&B should be match drilled and riveted. This was completed on the right elevator.
Bent the trailing edge of the right elevator. Fine tuning still needed once elevator has been completely riveted; Cleco'd skin to skeleton and riveted the top of the counterbalance skin to the elevator skin (two places) to prevent having to install blind rivets later; Installed the counterbalance weight; Started riveting skin to skeleton of the right elevator.

Rudder - Added Proseal to the trailing edge and clamped the trailing edge sandwiched between angle iron to keep straight while sealant cures.
