Brief Description:  Left Elevator Trailing Edge Prep

Tonight i prepped the trailing edge of the left elevator, same as the rudder and right elev. trailing edges. I match drilled and cleco'd it to a piece of rigid aluminum angle. Next I deburred and dimpled the parts and machine countersunk the AEX wedge. I cleco'd it all back together, now both elevators are awaiting a batch of pro-seal.

It was odd, becasue the plans did not mention using the aluminum straight edge here, as it did on the right and the rudder, maybe because it is much shorter??? I did it anyway though, i was pleased with the results of the rudder after pro-sealing the trailing edge and letting it cure, fastened to the straight edge, so why take any risks.
