Today was another busy day. We finished dimpling the stiffer holes on the skins. Next we built the counterbalance arms, match-drilled the holes and deburred and dimpled them all. We assembled the skeleton for the right elevator, match drilled all the stiffner plates, and match drilled the end rib. We then deburred, dimpled and primed the parts to attach the end rib as it needed to be riveted to the spar before we could continue onto the next step. We clecoed the skin to the skeleton and match drilled all holes. Finally we deburred all the holes.
Some of the pieces we were working with.
