Brief Description:  Riveted the right hand Elevator skin.

I started by removing some material (about 1 mm) of lead from E-714 so it fit correctly. Once I did this the holes all lined up very well. Then I clecoed and riveted on the R/H Elevator skin to the understructure. I didn't have any problems with this and it turned out well. All that is left is a couple of blind rivets at the trailing edge and to bend the leading edge.

Next up is bending the L/H Elevator tabs which face the trim tab. (I am planning on fabricating a little rib instead.)
