Riveting the left ends

Hours: 4 Manual Ref: Page 9-14 steps 1 through 6 Partner: N/A

It took a while, but I managed to get the rivets in on the ends of the left elevator. The right should go much quicker, now that I know how to do it.  Thankfully there is enough room between the end and the next rib to not have to bend the skins too much.  Note to other builders, watch the plans on page 9-20 for the upper skin.  The rivets are different on the upper skin from the bottom one when it comes to where the tip skin gets riveted to the main elevator skin.
