Brief Description: Match drilled skin and built riblet
I match drilled the skin to the under structure and finished building the last riblet for the elevator.
I built the riblet the same way as before. Used some thick paper to get an outline. I then transfered the image to another piece of paper and drew on the flanges. After I cut out the template, I used my hand seamers and bent it up for trial fit. Once everything was fitting like a glove I transfered the template to a piece of aluminum and started the process over.....trace, cut and bend.
