Brief Description:  Riveting/Fitting Elevator

Up at 630am and back riveted the left elevator stiffners and doubler for the electric trim mount. I formed the trailing edge using the homemade sheetmetal brake. Turned out great! I added some handles to it so I have more leverage and that really helped. I then moved to the elevator skeleton, cleco'ing and match-drilled per the plans. I fitted the elevator lead counter-weight (pain) by removing the material with a hand file until it fit inside the end rib assembly. Then I cleco'd the right elevator assembly together and match-drilled the elevator horn bracket. Next step is the match-drill the right elevator skins.
