Rolled right elevator and tested trim system: 3.7 hours

Rolling the right elevator leading edge was the quickest so far. I believe it's also the last edge I will have to roll on the airplane.

The elevators are both finished. The next step is mounting the hinge bearings that will attach them to the horizontal stabilizer.

I also tested the electric elevator trim travel and it looks good.

 

Riveting the right leading edge:
 


It's good to have both of elevators almost complete. The 9 volt battery is for testing the trim servo. It runs a little slow on 9 volts but its easy to work with.
