RV14 Build June 3
Elevator Assembly
Continued to work on the Elevators today, Matt came to the shop and helped out!! We started by finishing attaching the top skins to the ribs and then moved onto the Left Elevator Trim Tab Access Reinforcement Doubler. I used the back rivet plate for most of this.
2 Mostly completed elevators!! I just need to install the front spar assemblies, ProSeal the trailing edge wedges, and rivet the trailing edge together. I think maybe 20 more hours??
The plans have you make a special bucking bar to get between the elevator skins and reach the rear spar, just buy it from Cleveland tools and save the headache.
Bucking these rivets seemed like it would be CRAZY hard for 1 person so I am super glad Matt was here today to help!
