Brief Description:  Roll Elevator Leading Edges

Started today to do the finish up work on the empennage. Hope to complete the empennage this weekend before going back to work next Tuesday. Went to Home Depot and bought a 1/2" steel pipe to use to roll the leading edges and some more duct tape. Setup is shown in photo #1 with the steel rod taped and ready to roll the bottom edge of the left elevator. Photo #2 shows the result of rolling. After rolling the top edge the holes are aligned and cleco'd in photo #3 and the first three pop rivets have been set. See next entry for more photos and comments.
