Brief Description: Back Riveted the Elevator Stiffeners

Another good day. Did a good job with the stiffeners, except for the one rivet at the trailing edge. Must work on getting those deeper for flushness. Took two of us: one to hold the elevator apart, and the other to rivet. Katie helped by taping rivets into holes and being the QA person.

Ready to back-rivet again.
