Title: 9-4 thru 9-6: Elevator skeleton and skins
Deburred hinge reinforcement plates and cleco'd to spar. Cut the trim cable hole with the uni-bit. Deburred the rear spar and cleco'd all of the ribs and spars to the skins and to each other. Installed the E-1022 clips - reread that several times to see what they were trying to say about the orientation. Wasn't a big deal. All of these operations involved flipping the elevator over to access clecos from either side. Flipped it probably four times. Deburred and cleco'd the trim access reinforcement plates and installed the E-921 gusset angles. Now cleco'd the previously assembled tip rib assembly. I've read others having trouble with squareness of the tip in the final elevator. I can easily see how it could get slightly crooked. There are just a few common holes in the skin to hold it all square. I checked with a framing square top and bottom to try to keep it square and un-twisted before final drilling the tip to the spar. I'll have to keep a close eye on this when it's time to final drill the skins. Cleco'd the top skin onto the elevators and called it a night. I'm doing everything simultaneously on the left and right rudder so every task is times two. Went quicker than I thought though. I'm going to run out of work if I don't get my new HS spar soon. I have some proseal in that order too. I have another dreaded trailing edge in my near future - two actually.
