The elevator is now nearly complete. All that remains is to rivet on the hinge.
The plans call for the elevator to be 78" long, and to let the skins 'float' so as to have exactly 78". When I did this it became apparent that the angle I cut into the skins (per the plans) was off by about 1/4". It was easy enough to let this portion hang over and cut it off later, however. I did freak out a few minutes before I figured it out though.
