Brief Description:  Bending tab for trim tab on left elevator skin.

After practicing on the spare skin, I was ready to try bending the tab on the real thing.
Actually, I got lucky on the spare skin since that one folded over very nicely.

The real one - shown here - worked fine also, but I wasn't' totally happy with he bend line. I had some creases and dimpling when I was done that kind of bugged me. Shoud I put the wood back in there and pound the skin with the riveter or try something else? I decided to go to bed and sleep on it and ask on the Van's Airforce forum.
