Brief Description:  Left Elevator Close-up

Closed up the left elevator by clecoing the bottom skin to the bottom of the spar, used flush rivets where able near the attach points and endo's. Before this I installed the E-921 Gusset. Thankfully I saw this on the drawing this weekend and fabricated it. There is no mention of the gusset anywhere until it says to install it, nor is the piece marked... so you have to find this little piece of unmarked .063 that came with the kit, yup make it out of that. I riveted it to the rib using an AN470, but on the aft side I used flush rivets to rivet it, and the root rib, to the trim spar, so the aft side of the trim spar is flush. Next I riveted the tip rib and root rib, leaving the last few open for spreading the skins to debur the trailing edge.
