Full Assembly and Match-drilling

I got all of the pieces done and assembled and match drilled up to Page 9-8 Step 3. Even though these are just like the rudder in a way, they have quite a few more pieces in total since you are building two at the same time. I did run into a bit of a snag. While cutting the E-1023 trailing edge wedge pieces from the trailing edge wedge piece, I was literally one hole short on getting all of the trailing edge ready. So I am putting the right elevator to the side for now until the additional piece will show up. For now it is on back order so no telling how long that will take to get in. I also had some interesting times getting the elevator tip piece mated up to the elevator with all the holes lining up. It took some massaging but it finally came together.
