Deburring, Fluting, and Initial Assembly

Published by olanandkate on

I spent quite a bit of time going through and deburring all of the elevator pieces minus the large skin edges. That took the most time out of all of this. I then worked on the 903 and 904 pieces to get them straight and level. Mine came pre-fluted but I ended up having to remove the majority of what they put in as it was causing it to bow pretty bad. I then assembled everything and I’ll do the match drilling tomorrow. My ribs for the elevator were already final sized, but the 903 and 904 ribs were not, so that I will finish tomorrow after we’re done shopping for Black Friday.

The deburring station after I was done. Aluminum dust everywhere!
The ribs all clecoed together. They didn’t need match drilling though as the #30 drill went through without removing any material
The assembled elevator ends. I’ll have to match drill these tomorrow
