Rivetting the right elevator stiffners - 3 hours



I called the same friend over that helped me the week before (Jason) to lend me a hand again. Bending the right skin is more difficult than the left. Again like last time we gently pulled back on the skins and I used scraps of oak wood on either side of the stiffener to help hold down the skin flat. I used a dab of RTV on the back 1"-1.5" of the stiffener as an adhesive to the trailing edge and then riveted away. Very pleased with the results. I was really worried about getting this part right, Its very much a two person job!
