Apr 19, 2021     9-14(L) & 9-15(L): Left elevator finish up for now - (1.6 hours)       Category: 9: Elevators
Finished up some miscellaneous items on the elevator including the trailing edge rivets and end rib rivets.

Also got the remaining holes on the trim tab drilled and riveted. Got the wire installed and bent. Not happy with how the bend came out. I realized afterward that I should have bent it shorter so that it turns down behind the rear spar and not beside it. May be able to fix that later.

Started trimming the lead counterweights. Kind of a pain. I went ahead and tried doing them on the band saw. Of course that creates lead dust which is no good. Wore gloves and a face mask and vacuumed often. Had to pause often and let it cool down so that it didn't melt and stick the blade. Got the counterweights mounted with the AN3 bolts and torqued to the proper value.

Called Van's today to check on status of my back-ordered parts, including the much needed elevator horns. They don't have them. No ETA. I'll have to put this aside for now and start on the right elevator.
