Elevators: Almost back to where I was - 4 hours





I received the email from Vans indicating that the hole distance is not an issue on the left E-704 counterbalance rib. Simply filleting the washer so it does not make a stress point on the inside radius of the web is acceptable.
I set off again to cleco the E-713/703/704 left and right assembly's to E-702 and the root ribs. At this point the neighbor's boys came to see how I was progressing. I decided that this is a great time for them to help me out. They are surprisingly good at installing and moving cleco's! We then cleco'd the E-701 skins onto the understructure and match drilled as per the manual. It took some time, but it was a pretty enjoyable experience shared with the boys. Everything went well for once...I'm back in the groove.
