2 hrs. - Removed the right skin fm the shipping crate, pealed off the inside film and cut away the rivet hole lines...and primed the inside. Carefully attached the skin to the right elevator structure and only had to open up a few holes on the top of the #1 ri to avoid the trailing edge deformation as shown in the plans. Once both sides were clecoed - I began riveting!
After finishing both sides - I then clecoed and riveted the leading edge where it wraps over the top and bottom skin. I had contemplated dimpling this rivet line and using CCC-42 (flush rivets)...but decided to just do as the plans call for. Once finished I trail fit the elevator to the horizontal Stabilizer...and it fits!
