Section 6 Re-Building left elevator Date 3/19/06I center punched all the rivets around the frame and then carefully drilled them out with a #40 drill. After drilling the frame I removed the skin from the frame with the stiffeners in place. To drill the stiffeners I spread the skin to place one side on top of my workbench with stiffeners down. As I removed the stiffener I recorded its location. To use the skin for a pattern I had to flatten the rivet dimples on the inside of the skin with a backing plate and hammer. (Image) 00-0340&00-342
