Elevator – Part 2

I started to do my initial assembly of the Elevators.  First thing was figuring out which way to bend the skins for the R and Left elevators.  I ended up messing up my bend on the first one and decided just to use the Rivet gun to pound the skin flat and try again with some better wooden blocks.  You can totally see that the skin isn’t perfect, but I have long since decided that this is not really going to be a “show plane”.  I’ll most likely put some filler or micro to clean up the skin a bit prior to painting.  No Biggie.

Also not sure if you can really catch it, but when I was attaching and match drilling the elevator horn, I had it rotated the wrong way.  Again, not the end of the world, and I made sure that I had everything correct for final assembly.

Once again got some help from the girls while I was working and continued to make progress.  So far, things are pretty straightforward based on past experience.
