Brief Description:  Finishing elevator

Installed the elevator portion of the hinge and riveted it in place. Installed the cover plate for the trim cable.

I rolled the leading edges using a homemade table I built. I bot some U-bolts and drilled into a piece of plywood to line them up with the slots in the leading edge. I used Gorilla Tape to attach the leading edge to the rolling bar and then two pairs of vice grips and Nathan to roll up the edge. Went much more smoothly than the other elevator. Results were the same but took 1/10th of the time. Riveted the leading edge. Started to install the control hinges. The PVC tool to do it that I built needs some reinforcing so I will stop at the store tomorrow to get PVC glue.

Almost finished with the elevator!
