Finished Right Elevator
Monday, December 10th, 2007This evening the right elevator was completed. I doubled the number of pop rivets in the middle section to create a nice tight edge. I temporarily installed the elevator to the horizontal stab. It was very satisfying to see a moving control surface. I marked approximately where I need to remove some of the outboard edge of the HS to allow the counterbalance arm of the elevator to swing freely.
Tasks Completed:
- Drilled out leading edge holes to #30
- Added rivet holes to middle section
- Pop riveted leading edge
- Installed rod end bearings and jam nuts
