Brief Description:  Drilling out and re-riveting elevator spar

So, a careful drilling out of the four poorly set rivets attaching the elevator spar to the root rib was undertaken. I used (as I should have done in the first place) a clamp arrangement with a mini-Workmate, and all went well.

The drilled-out rivets were then replaced, and this time I used the pneumatic rivet squeezer to set them. Lovely job - I don't know what the fuss was about. ;-)

PS - I was informed in the week that I'm not just posting these things into an abyss, but at least one person is actually reading this guff. Hello, Tim F!
