Brief Description: Prepare Elevator Skeleton Assembly
Only got a couple hours of work in today. Started by bending the trailing edge of both elevators to get a good smooth edge using the homemnade bending brake. Then cleco'd and match drilled the elevator spar reiforcing plates to both left and right elevators. Next step was to prepare the end ribs, counterbalance ribs, the counterbalance skin, and the elevator counterweight. The counterweight had to be trimmed to get the counterbalance skin to fit around it and cleco'd to the rib assembly. Got one of them done and quit before I got the next one done.

Thank God for Plans so I can figure out how they go together
