Right Elevator Final Assembly







Bekah's back and I have the camera again so will resume my updates. Lots of work on the right elevator, backriveting skins, bending with the bending brake, Skeleton assembly etc.. Went fairly straight forward and was similar to the rudder.
When I was triming the counterweight I noticed that it had an air bubble in the original mold that was about the size of a marble.. I ended up taking some of the left over lead and melted it down and poured it into the hole filling it up. You can kind of see the outline in this picture. Was suprized to see, but easily solvable problem.
