Tonight I match drilled the aft portion of the elevator trim tab hinge, then match drilled the left elevator tip rib assembly, and trimmed the left elevator trailing edge wedge.
This is part way through the match drilling of the aft half of the trim tab hinge. I used a lot of clamps and measured to check that the hinge stayed as straight as possible.
Then I clecoed the elevator tip rib assembly to the forward and aft elevator spars, and bottom skin (left elevator only). I then final drilled the holes common to the spars and tip ribs.
Then I attacked the top skin on the left elevator. The goal is to match drill three holes in the closeout tabs, but before doing so, the closeout tabs need to be supported from behind and in their final position. The first step, which I started on is to trim the trailing edge wedge.
Then the wedge needs to be sanded down on the outboard end where it will eventually butt up against the fiberglass elevator tip fairing. I marked the area that needs to be sanded down, but was too tired to continue tonight.
