Left Elevator Final Assembly

Sorry for the late update.  This update will contain 2 Tuesday evening's worth of work.  We finished the assembly of the left elevator.  We attached the ribs, trim spar and attach gusset.  We also assembled the counterbalance arm and attached the bottom skin to the main spar.  Finally we riveted the trim spar and ribs to the bottom skin and assembled the trim tab motor housing.  There are a few minor tasks to wrap up on the empennage (rolling the rudder leading edge and drilling out the trailing edges) before we move onto the wings.
