Riveted Elevator Stiffeners

Since I couldn’t rivet last night because of the noise, I got up early and riveted the elevator stiffeners on before work this morning.  Here’s the left elevator.


And here’s the right.  Near the trailing edge, it was difficult to get the skin bent out of the way enough and still keep everything flat on the back rivet plate.  I ended up having to drill out a couple of rivets that didn’t end up flush with the skin.
