Brief Description: Elevator Counter-Weight

Pleasant evening in the hangar. Raining out, so enjoyed closing the door and listening to the Sirius Radio. Dimpled the Elevator end to make room for the counter-weight screws. Also drilled out the weight with a countersink bit to accomodate the dimple. Prepped the edges of the end-structure with the Scotch-Brite wheel. Must have forgotten to do that earlier. Next step is to dimple the skin and under-structure in prep for riveting.
