Brief Description:  Final Elevator Skin Bending

Well, sometime before this date, I built all the elevator stiffeners, drilled them and back-riveted them to the skin. You saw how I did that with the rudder skin...so no loss that I forgot to take pictures. Anyway, here I am doing the final scary bend on the elevator skin. I say scary because you don't want to bend it too sharply, and you don't want to bend it so hard that the stiffeners dig into the opposite side skin. In this case, all came out okay. Oh, also, not that the elevator spar is all riveted together...guess I forgot to take pictures of that too.
