Brief Description:  Riveting Left Elevator

Got up late so I only got a small amount of time to work on the plane, but I did manage to get the elevator skin riveting almost done and I blind riveted the false spar were the trim tab mounts per the plans. It calls for MK319BS blind rivets so you need to drill the hole out from the #40, that you drilled previously, to a 7/64 or #33. This worked well and the flush blind rivets don't look bad at all - I was supprised. Hopefully, I can finish up the skin rivets today or tomorrow and then I will turn my attention to the trim tab itself.
