Brief Description:  Riveting the elevetor leading edges

I made quick work of drilling and riveting the elevator leading edges. I am still not completely satisfied with how they turned out and honestly I am hoping that the leading edges are hidden once installed otherwise, I will be doing some re-work of some kind. I did have to drill out one blind rivet that didn't go in straight but otherwise it was fine, just more "pillowing" between the rivets than I like. Tomorrow my friend Mike (7A builder) is coming over to help me skin the bottom of my wings!!!! Should be fun!
