| Elevator |
 |
 |
| Used the hinge gauge I made to obtain the .057" off-set from the top of the skin. |
 |
| Drilled everything to # 30. I might mention.... we did not drill any leading edge "rib" holes until finding finding out where the hinge would line up at. |
 |
| Riveted everything (on the right half) except for where the root rib assembly goes. I will fit that later once both elevator halves are hinged on the Horiz Stab. |
 |
| Starting on the Left side... Using the vixen file to "shape-up" the inboard angle. |
 |
| Taking the sharp edge off... helps prevent cuts to your skin, but more importantly, it helps prevent stress riser from forming as easily. |
 |
| Trying to aviod duplicate-type pics.... here is the primer on the inside surface once everything was drilled and deburred. |
 |
| Primed the rib flanges and part of the hinge. |
 |
| Left side riveted. We were now able to determine the HS hinge location based off the elevator position. Drilled the Right side hinge before calling it a night. |
