Time to get back to the left elevator. Nothing too exciting. Just making sure all the parts are present, looking over the instructions and drawings, removing the vinyl backing and doing some work on the polishing wheel with some of the parts to prep them. I'm realizing now that I should have ordered the two new parts I needed for this left side last week instead of waiting until today. I need those parts now unfortunately. For now I can use the scrap 704/703 ribs that may or may not be salvageable. I'll have to wait to drill a new counterweight to see if the holes already drilled into the faces of 703/704 are usable. I think I know the answer already which is why I have replacements on the way but we'll see. So in the meantime I can skip ahead a little bit which I don't like to do but there is some basic stuff that can done in the meantime. That involves mocking up the sub-structure and cleco'ing and drilling a few parts. This included the 705 inboard rib and the left side elevator horn as well as some of the skin. So it was still a productive night but I'm not sure how much further I can go at this point until the replacement parts show up next week sometime. Progress is still progress so I'll take it. I did get another email from Van's today. It stated that the wing kit had left their facility and is with the shipping company and also that the kit is shipping with some parts on back order. So I'm waiting patiently to hear from the shipping company to see when the delivery is going to take place. Unfortunately I am leaving town for work in a week and will be gone a full week so I'm really hoping the delivery can take place before then. We'll see!
