Brief Description:  Assembly of the Right Elevator (minus trailing edg

With all parts ready for assy, jumped right in to get the right elevator buttoned up. Getting the ribs on by backriveting was slick once again, can make a lot of progress fast that way. Assembled the Spar, ribs and control horn. Afixin the spar to the top of the skin I was able to get about half of the rivets with my squeezer. I rolled the part over and with a little pressure, was able to back rivet the rest of the top of the spar to the skin. I decided to go with all pop rivets on the bottom to the rib and it went together nicely. Using some shot bags for weight, closed in the ribs and then drilled the trailing edge wedge and clecoed it in place. The right elevator will wait unitl the left is done and I will Proseal this, the left elevator and rudder during the same period.
