Left Elevator Riveted

I riveted the left elevator skin to the structure and bolted on the counterweight.


Here’s a shot of the complex intersections of the spar, counterweight rib, elevator skin and counterweight skin.  These rivets turned out even nicer than on the right elevator.


I did a little more prep on the trim tab as well.  Here are the holes in the trim tab spar, countersunk to accept the skin dimples.  These are countersunk because the trim tab hinge will mount flush to the underside of this flange.
