Completed the trailing edge of the rudder... nice! I began final assembly of the left elevator and discovered that the right elevator has the tip skin incorrectly overlapping the body skin (it should be the other way around)... it will be a bugger to remove the skin to fix it.
Next i will work on the elevator trim and finish riveting the left elevator... and start to drill out the skin on the right elevator...
the skin should be on top ;) |
getting ready to start double flush riveting the trailing edge of the rudder |
the trailing edge of the rudder is pro sealed straight and gets double flush rivets to finish it off |
fold overlap at the trim tab on the left elevator |
the first fold looks pretty good... the trim tab is the tricky one though |
