Today I riveted the main elevator spars to the ribs. This was quite easy, as it was pop riveting with easy access.
Here’s the inboard rib connected to the main spar with three pop rivets. Each elevator has 6 ribs.
I used a weighted board to hold the elevator flat while riveting. Despite the precaution, I noticed afterwards that the elevator has a slight bend from one end to the other, perhaps 1/8 of an inch. Not sure if it’ll change once the skin is riveted onto the main spar flange, we shall see.
