| (9-12 steps 5 & 6):
Got a late start today. Unfortunately it'll have to be an
early finish also. So let's get going! First step was to
rivet the top skin of the right elevator to the rear spar. As
before, I'm only riveting the rivets outboard of the trim tab
area. After that came the pop rivets joining the rib halves
together. |
(9-13 steps 1 & 2): Next I clecoed in the front spar assembly, followed by pop riveting it to the front flanges of the ribs.
|
(9-13 step 3): After that the skins were riveted to the front spar.
|
(9-14 steps 1-3): Then
the aft flange of the root rib was riveted to the rear spar followed by
riveting the gusset to the root rib. After that I closed the
skins on this end of the elevator.
|
Welp…
that's it for the night. I'll see if I can get this thing done
(at least as much as the other one) sometime this week. It'll be
nice!
