Riveted the stiffeners and worked on bending: 2.9 hours

I back riveted all the stiffeners on and they turned out great. It was a little tricky riveting the stiffeners close to the bend in the trailing edge.

I also built a simple wood bending break and made some initial bends to get the elevator skin ready for riveting. The skins come partially bent so you don't over stress them when riveting in the stiffeners.

I forgot to take a photo of the bending process but I will take some when I do the left elevator.
