Finished most riveting on right elevator: 6 hours

I got the fun part of the right elevator done. Riveted together the substructure then riveted the skin on then finished bolting on the counterweight. There were a few tricky rivets that required the rivet gun but most could be easily reached with the pneumatic squeezer.

The only things left to do is rolling and riveting the leading edge and installing the ball bearing rod ends.

The instructions tell you to set the right elevator aside and start on the more complicated left elevator. Then doing all the finishing items at once.
