Riveting Right Elevator




Today we were able to rivet the right elevator together. We were able to do this exclusively with the squeezer which is great. All rivets turned out perfectly and the (almost) finished product is beautiful! All that's left for this elevator is the jamnuts and hinge points as well as rolling the leading edge. We did as according to the plans and used solid AN rivets throughout the whole thing. This requires setting four rivets holding the skin and counter balance skin together before they get put onto the substructure.
