Well, we had another good productive day working on the RV 9 Elevators. Last work session left the Right Elevator ready for riveting to the spar and Ribs. We ended up using a small Tungsten bar and that really did a great job. Tad has a pretty good eye for using those bucking bars now so I continued doing the Rivet gun side. It really wasn't as bad as we were anticipating it to be. Just took our time and within an hour it was done. Even manged to buck the "problem rivet" on the counter-weight skin without too much problem.
So, it is ready for inspection now and we started on the Left Elevator. Match drilled the shaped stiffeners and then deburred most of the pieces. The stiffeners are dimpled as well. We'll probably get the spar and everything else matched drilled and then send them off to Tad's workshop to have them primed.
This Elevator has the Trim-tab on it though so it will involve a little more work to finish.
