Tonight I drilled the counterweight attach hole in E713, 714, 703 and 704 to #12. I clecoed on the left skin and elevator horn and finshed match drilling the remaining holes. Everything seemed to fit very well. I am wondering if the trailing edge is bent enough in the middle section. It looks a little too rounded around the edge there. I will check further before final riveting.
