Elevators- 3 hrs 50 mins (Elevators 59:30, Empennage 182:29, Total 203:25)
Rivet count: 78 (Total 3,426)
Tank sealant still stinks. Literally. It's also a pain to work with.
Today we managed to rivet the trim tab pieces together. After, we applied the foam tabs to the trim tabs and cleco'd everything together to let the sealant cure.
Then, we got to work on the elevators themselves. We applied sealant to the foam tabs in between the elevator skins. Then, we applied sealant to the trailing edge wedge. We cleco'd everything together and applied weights to let everything sit and cure for the next few days. I can't tell if it's a 45 hr cure or a 112 hr cure time. So I guess I'll be taking the conservative route and wait until Friday. Luckily, in the meantime, I can still work on other random parts such as the counterweights. -M
