Elevator - Part III




Summer's are SLOOOOOOWWW for building progress - BUT, I am getting a bit done.


- Top skins are riveted
- Bottom skins cleecoed 
- Control horns cleecoed
- First trailing edge skin epoxied

Bottom skins are finally on!  And they won't be coming off...
Center section - including control horns - ready for riveting.  Waiting for an offset / bent 1/8" snap to show up from Aircraft Spruce.
See - there really are two skins!

Trailing edge epoxied and clamped with aluminum L brackets and cleecos

Another view of the same - trailing edge clamped.
Todo list:
- Exoxy left hand trailing edge
- Rivet control horn
- Pull rivets on aft skin holes, hard rivets on fore holes
- Then onto the trim tab!
