Empennage

Today I back riveted all the stiffeners to the E-701-L/R skins and then riveted the E-615PP Trim Reinforcement Plate to the left skin. The next step is to bend the trailing edge of the elevators so I had to make a trip to the hardware store to get a couple of 2X8's and some door hinges to build a tool to make the bend. I also picked up a 3/16" dowell rod to use in the radius to keep the bend straight and smooth. I didn't have time to build the bending tool this afternoon so that will be something for my next session.
