Brief Description:    Bending Elevator Tabs
Started off by cleco'ing together the underlying structure and the skins. Then measured out the fit of the two tabs that close off the elevator opposite the trim tab. I started the bending by using a hand seamer, then pushed them almost closed with a large block of wood. Once the tabs were almost closed, I used a rivet gun with the large round flat rivet shank to hammer them into position. It worked very well. :-)

The nail in the picture was a tack I drove into the wood to allow me to position it before starting. I will save the block for the other end of the trim tab.
