Countersinking Elevator Skeleton Parts Again - 3 hours


The new parts arrived from vans so I set to work on the new parts. I re-cleco'd the right elevator and match drilled holes for the new E-704 rib. I then set to work countersinking E-606PP. I repeated the same process of cleco'ing the piece to oak. This time I countersink the holes at the very ends of the piece rather than use the counter sink cage to ensure those holes did not go too deep.



I then used the 3m wheel on the elevator counterbalance skins to feather the aft and inboard edges.
