Left Elevator Assembly

Today we made quite a lot of progress on the left elevator assembly.  Our first task was to dimple the rest of the skin and then we prepped and primed it.  Next we back riveted the stiffners to the top skin.  We then assembled the the counterbalance ribs and skin.  After that we riveted the main spar, reinforcement plates and plate nuts and attached the rib.  The next step was to attach the main spar to the top skin and the stiffners to the bottom skin.  The final step was to attach the plate nuts to the trim tab motor reinforcement plate and attach that plate to the skin.
