1046- Elevators- p.9-7 step 1-3

Elevators - 2 hr 49 mins (Elev. 13:19, Empennage 117:44, Total 131:40)
Rivet count: 0 (Total 2,154)

Well, after a long week of no worktime for the plane and quite the cold, I made it out, only to spend three hours match drilling. At least its better than deburring, which will be coming up soon...

I attached the elevator horns to the assembly, then proceeded to match drill all the skins. The process took at least an hour longer than it needed to since Van's tells us to start at the center of the two spars and work outward, clecoing every hole. That equals a lot of back and forth between the clecos and the drill. But hey, its done! One step closer... Enjoy the boring video, and apologies in advance. -M
