More Left Elevator Riveting
Saturday, December 22nd, 2007
I mostly just riveted tonight. I thought about remaking the wood break with the interlocking halves, but didn’t get around to it.
Tasks Completed:
- Drilled holes in skin tabs
- Riveted bottom side of elevator skin to skeleton
- Added RTV to inside trailing edge of stiffeners
- Began to rivet top side of skin to skeleton
Note: Although the instructions say to countersink the entire topside of E606PP, I would dimple the outboard 4 holes that are to be pop riveted to the skin. This will be a stronger bond than the dimpled skin against countersunk hole.
