Continued work on the left elevator
Posted by: | CommentsI completed the corrosion protection on the left elevator and riveted it together up to needing the special rv-10 bucking bar. Haven’t yet made the ribs for the trailing edge. It is somewhat difficult to rivet the elevator horns cleanly because of the angle between the front spar and the inboard rib.
