Riveted trim tab to elevator and started on servo: 4 hours

Riveting the trim tab hinge was fairly straight forward. There were a few tight spots because of the hinge but it worked out good.

Next was on to installing the trim tab servo. Determining the location for the servo mount took a while because it needs to be perfectly lined up with the trim tab. This is another area where the builder has to locate and drill all the rivet holes. What I have found is that any part with out the computer punched rivet holes is going to take a long time.

After I drilled the holes I fine tuned some of the parts fit then deburred, cleaned and primed the parts.

I'm ready to be done with the elevators.
