Elevators – Pages 9-3 through 9-6

I got quite quite a bit of clecoing done today as well as a little bit of the match drilling. The coolest part was doing the tab bends on the E-1001A & B skins. Using the mushroom bit in the rivet gun worked like a champ on getting those bends nice and clean. I did learn that it is best that your work surface have a hard edge to it. My work bench has a bit of a rounded edge so I put a piece of wood that still had a sharp 90 degree edge on it at the end of the bench to clamp the skins onto. That made this function a lot better. I did get one of the tabs off slightly due to the skin slipping some and me not noticing it. We will see how much that affects it down the road. I might have to re-bend that but not sure how well this alclad aluminum will take re-bending.
