 Started work on the Left Elevator
I cleoced on the reinforcement plates to the main spar and final drilled them.
|
 Clecoed the main spar, root rib and elevator trim spar to the skin
|
 Final drilled the skin to the spars and root rib
I drilled all the top skin holes with a #40 drill bit, then flipped the elevator over and only drilled part of the main spar, the whole trim spar and root rib. I marked the holes closest to the openings where the elevator attaches to the horizontal stabilizer. These holes were drilled with a #40 drill bit because they will have flat head rivets put into them. I will use my Avery 4 inch yoke to get these rivets. All of the other holes in the main spar were drilled with a #30 drill bit since they will have pop rivets put into them.

 Clecoed on the counterbalance assembly
A lot of the work on this assembly has already been completed. I did it while working on the right elevator. So all I had to do here was final drill the holes where the assembly attaches to the main spar.
