I skipped back to finish the right elevator trim tab.  Completed the trailing edge bend of the trip tab skin.  Match-drilled the holes of the outer tabs into the inner tabs.  Made the 15’ bend in the bottom trim tab skin.  Clecoed the trim tab horns to the trim tab skin and spar; final-drilled the holes common to the horns, skins, and spar.  Dimpled all the holes in the E-919 trim tab skin and E-920 trim tab spar.  Riveted the E-917 and -918 trim tab horns and the bottom flange of the E-920 trim tab spar to the E-919 trim tab skin.  Bonded the foam trim tab ribs to the trim tab skin.  Riveted the bent tabs on the sides of the trim tabs  – no pics.

Clecoed the trim tab on top of the hinge.  Match-drilled the holes of the trim tab into the hinge:

Marked the inboard end of the hinge so that it can be trimmed even with the elevator and trim tab.  Trimmed the hinge halves.  Spent the rest of the session doing my favorite thing – prepping for priming with Prekote.  Ugggghhhhh!!!!  Oh well, a necessary evil.  The parts drying, ready for Akzo:
