Finished riveting the E-1001 skins to the flanges of the outboard
tip ribs. Riveted the E-1022 shear clip
to the close out tabs in the E-1001 skins.
Began to redo an elevator trim tab,
but messed it up – glad I ordered 2 replacements!

Redid the left elevator trim tab. Took quite a while, but on my 3rd try, I was
happy with this one. I wasn’t happy with
the tabs on the originals, but this one turned out pretty good. Instead of the wedges as called out in the
plans, I used my back riveting plate held in my table vise to make the bends. Much better than the wedges with pretty good
results:

right elevator trim tab skin: 1.5 hours
The right is fine, but I ordered another right skin when I
ordered the 2 left skins. The tabs came
out much better on the left skin, so I figure I’ll redo the right as well.

Applied tank sealant to the mating surfaces of each foam
trim tab rib and placed clamp blocks onto the trim tab. Riveted the bent tabs on the sides of the
trim tabs. Set aside to cure for a few days:
Moved back to working on the wings. Enlarged the forward tooling holes to 7/16
for the SB437-4 snap bushings. Enlarged
the wire run pilot holes to 3/4 for wire conduit:
