| Brief Description: |
Riveting the Elevator |
|
|
Started by riveting the re-inforcement plates and nuts to the spar. I had started to rivet with the skin still cleco'ed on which made everything difficult to reach. Amazing how laying off for a few weeks makes you forget everything. Riveted the 703/704 ends together, attached the 713 web, and then completed the frame. I riveted the bottom of the skin to the frame and riveted the bottom of the 616 trim spar into place. The four blind rivets didn't fit in the #40 holes in the skin. Ended up having to enlarge the holes to a 7/64th's before the blind rivets would fit in. The top will have to wait until we are back from California. |
