Brief Description: Riveted Skin to Spar and Stiffeners
Eileen helped me rivet the left elevator spar to the inside of the upper skin. We used AN426AD3-3.5 rivets and set the rivets with the 2X rivet gun at 45psi. Those rivets that could be reached with the 3" yoke were set with the pnuematic squeezer.
I used the pnuematic squeezer, longeron yoke and AN470AD4-4 rivets to rivet the right elevator tip ribs together.
I then clecoed the counterbalance arm skin to the tip ribs and riveted the skin to the tip ribs, leaving the elevator skin to counterbalance skin holes open.
I backriveted the remaining left elevator stiffeners to the inside of the lower skin, using a back-rivet set at 45psi and An426AD3-3 rivets.
