Tonight I got the rear horizontal stabilizer spar riveted together. It went pretty well – the pneumatic squeezer is definitely a must-have for this stuff.
Pretty rows of manufactured heads on the exterior side…
…and nice, consistent shop heads on the interior side:
The elevator hinge brakcets get attached, and this sucker is done. The rivet length callouts for middle and outboard hinges seemed a little weird, but I followed the plans anyway. The center hinge bracket gets bolted in place, which means that I got to use the fancy new torque wrench that I sprung for. Any day where you get to use a new tool is a good one.
