Started working on the right elevator trailing edge

Nice to get back to work. Things got really busy around here in the past 2 weeks. Here I final drilled the trailing edge through the pre-drilled holes in the top of the elevator skin through the wedge, bottom elevator skin and then into the aluminum angle. Then I clecoed everything down. UPDATE 12/29/05: I should have supported the middle of the lower skin with something to raise it up a little. Apparently when I drilled the holes into the aluminum angle, the middle bottom skin pooched out farther than the top skin, causing a 1/16" dip in the trailing edge line during final riveting. Dangit!
