Empennage, Elevator (Part 27)

I'm just about two session away from wrapping up the assembly of the Elvator(s), so I worked a short session this evening.  I removed the board/weights that weighted the Skins down on the Ribs to help the tank sealant cure.  The tank sealant appears to have cured properly, so I installed the last rivets on the Right Root Rib and Tip Rib.  

This is the final six rivets (three on each side) on the Right Root Rib.....

And the final six rivets (three on each side) on the Tip Rib.

Tomorrow, I will start by installing the double flush rivets on the Trailing Edge.  Finally, the Leading Edges on the left and right sides will be rolled and riveted.  Then, that will complete the Elevators.
