Brief Description:  (re) Start the Left Elevator skin prep

Today I restarted the left elevator build… I decided that I really needed to drill out the rivets for the Counterbalance skin in order to rivet that skin to the main elevator skin, otherwise I would have had to use a pop rivet on the elevator skin – no way dude. So out with those 28 rivets! I really have gotten pretty good at drilling out the rivets – a side benefit, I guess. I then re-drilled the skin for all of the holes using either the #40 or #30 as specified in the plans. I didn’t match drill with the substructure as the other holes are already drilled. Then I deburred all 4 sides of the skin.
