Darren asked me to provide a special update today (I type, he uploads the pictures - I've gotten the better deal).
Tonight we used the thing-a-majig to make the sinky thing in the what-cha-ma-callit. We're waiting for some more dohickeys before we can finish up the work
Translation:
We finished dimpling as much of the right elevator skin as we can. We're waiting for a couple tools (1/8" pop dimple dies and a torque wrench) to finish up a few last tasks. Once they arrive we can prep, prime and assemble the right elevator.
We moved onto the left elevator (it's more complex because it has a trim tab). We assembled the spar and reinforcement plates and match drilled. We next assembled the spar, ribs and skins and match drilled. Finally we assembled the counter-balance arms, clecoed them to the elevator and match drilled all holes.
We set the elevators aside and cleaned up the workshop. Our wing kit should be arriving in the next few days so we wanted to take the opportunity to clean up the workshop before the next kit arrived. We're probably a few weekends away from having the empennage finished.

All the pieces cleco'd into place.
