Elevators Mar 25 2026

Got the rear spars riveted in, and got the second skin also mated on both elevators. One of the most annoying steps in building the elevators is the pop riveting of the two halves of the ribs. There is just enough room to fit the pop rivet hand squeezer between the two skins to reach the aft most rivets. Got the service bulletin completed with the tank sealant and will be able to let those dry overnight with the pro seal and see if we can wrap this up tomorrow (sparring the leading edge curing and riveting as we are still waiting on the AD-41-ABS rivets from vans for the rudder as well).
