Started work on the elevators

Today was a busy day.  We first removed all of the protective coating on the inside of the elevator skins and used the soldering iron to cut away the coating around the holes.  Next we manufactured the stiffeners and prepped the edges.  We then clecoed them to the skins and match drilled them to the skins.  We deburred all the holes and dimpled the stiffners.  Finally we started dimpling the skins.
The elevator skins laid out prior to starting the day's work.
