Brief Description:  Match drill elevator horns

I read thru my entire construction log to help me remember where I left off. I kept good notes in my plans and marked all the completed steps, so that made the job much easier.

The right elevator needed to have the holes C/T the rib and front spar match drilled. To make sure the parts were aligned I filled all the holes with clekos near the horn and filled half the rest of the holes. Even with the parts in place and theoretically aligned, I sighted down the hole and saw that some were not lining up properly. The smaller hole was not completely visible in all cases, so I used my drift pin to make sure the entire small hole was visible before I drilled it out with a #30.

It turns out I had already match drilled the left elevator horn holes before I quit building, but I didn't put in a log entry for it.

So this was just a short session today to get back into the build mode. The next step is deburring all the parts fully to prepare for priming.
