Brief Description:  Riveted Trim Tab lower spar / drilled hinge holes.

Using my new longeron yoke and my hand squeezer I riveted the trim tabs lower spar in place. I would have had to use blind rivets for this step if it wasn't for my longerone yoke. I then lined up and drilled the holes for the elevator trim tab hinge. I installed the hinge pin and was happy to see there was no twist in the trim tab and the trailing and inboard edges aligned perfectly. Next up is to rivet the upper spar to the trim tab skin.
