Brief Description:  Rt Elev stiffeners & top skin spar riveting

Holly held the skin open so I could back rivet the top skin stiffeners. The spar was put in place then the top skin spar rivets were squeezed that I could reach the Main Squeeze 3" yoke. The elevator was then supported by a couple braces (per plans) to hold it in place, so the bottom skin can be spread open to reach inside the spar for bucking the rest of the rivets.
