Brief Description:  Bent Trailing edge and started clecoing under stru

What a stressfull day!!!! I thought bending the trailing edge was going to be easy....NOPE!!

One trick a builder friend told me was to draw a line the length of the bending break so you could make sure that the elevator was even all the way across to prevent an uneven bend. I did this and bent away!!!! I bent till the trailing edge stiffeners were touching.....Im still not totally happy but I was told you could use a pair of vice grip seamers with paint stick tapes to them to fine tune the trailing edge after everything is riveted up.

I was able to get the understructure clecoed up an matchdrilled. Pretty straight forward except I drilled the counter weight on backwards......another order from vans...... aver that mess up (I used the parts from the left) I clecoed on the skin and stopped for the night.
