Priming, riveting elevator - 20 September 2008

10.0 hours

	Priming parts(Full size) The boring part is begun, deburring, dimpling, cleaning and priming Here are some of the ready to go parts
	More primed parts(Full size) Some more of the elevator parts ready to be put together
	Priming the skin(Full size) I held the skin open with tape, and primed it with the rattle can
	Riveting spar doublers(Full size) The first step in final assembly is to rivet the spar doublers onto the spar. Used the squeezer on these rivets.
	Riveted counterbalance ribs together(Full size) Next step is to rivet the outer ribs together. Also done with the squeezer
	Riveting counterbalance skin(Full size) The counterbalance skin is cleco'd onto the ribs, and riveted on. The squeezer works for all these rivets also.
	Riveting horn(Full size) This doesn't show it, but first I riveted the horn on upside-down. Grrr. I then drilled out all the rivets and redid it. Came out fine. I even checked the layout several times before riveting it on upside down, and still got it wrong. No harm done I guess.
