(9-18 step 3):  Alright… time to finish drilling this trim tab hinge.  This hinge is where the trim tabs attach to the elevators.  In order to hopefully get this thing as straight as possible and prevent the pin from binding when the hinge is swung up and down I would drill a hole mid way between clecoes.  So now that the end and middle holes are done, the next one I did was mid-way between the middle cleco and one of the end clecoes.  I just kept splitting the difference like this clecoing each hole as I went until all the holes were done.  The hinge swings freely!

I don't have the trim tabs 'glued' together yet so I'll hold off on match drilling it to the hinge just yet.
