Right Elevator Assembly
I'm still attempting to get to bed at a reasonable hour, so only had a few minutes to work tonight. I'm trying to do something on the plane on most days though, even if it's just 30 minutes. Tonight I just squeezed a few rivets to attach the reinforcement plates and nut plates to the right elevator spar. There is something immensely satisfying about squeezing rivets - watching the rivets squish down to a consistent size time after time. The larger diameter rivets usually give off a little puff of what looks like smoke too, just to finish the show. I don't know if it's actually smoke or what it is, but I love the process.
