I started by riveting the hinge reinforcement plates and platenuts to the elevator spars. \u00a0I’m still working on both elevators to save time.<\/p>\n

\nHere is the trim servo supports, back-riveted to the trim cover plate.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>
\nAnd here is the servo, mounted to the supports.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>
\nI riveted the root ribs onto the spars. \u00a0This is the root rib for the left elevator. \u00a0You can see it has a blunt end where the trim spar attaches.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>
\nThe instructions are definitely not in the best order here. \u00a0They have you rivet E-703 (end rib) to E-704 (counterbalance rib) before riveting them both to the spar. \u00a0The problem with that is that these rivets can’t be squeezed if you do that and must be shot\/bucked (probably with a double offset set). \u00a0Instead, I squeezed these now while they’re easy to reach.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>
\nAnd then squeezed the rivets holding E-703 to E-704.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>
\nThe elevator horns can now be riveted on.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>
\nI added a dab of RTV to the back end of each stiffener pair to tie them together. \u00a0This helps prevent cracking here according to Van’s.<\/p>\n

And the right elevator is complete except for the leading edge rolling.<\/p>\n
