(9-12 step 6):
This morning I'm holding off on riveting the second skin on the
right elevator assembly, and electing to move on with the left.
The next step is to rivet the rib halves together. These are very
similar to the rudder ribs and go together with pop rivets. Its a
pretty tight fit, and getting enough leverage on the rivet puller is a
little tough since you can really only get ahold of it with the ends of
your fingers.

(9-13 step 2):
Now that the rib halves are securely fastened together the front
spar assembly got clecoed in place. Then it was more pop rivets
attaching it to the front flanges of the ribs.

| It's going to be another hot one today… 10 straight days over 100
degrees! We're expecting 104 today... yuck! These morning work
sessions make it a lot nicer... 80 degrees currently. I don't want to
leave... but gotta go pay for this thing... c-ya!
