I countersunk the lead counterweight and installed the sleeve on the oblong hole.
The sleeve will be fine as-is, but I applied some Loctite to the part to help hold it in place. I need to purchase actual epoxy for more critical applications.IMG_5200

I drilled out the incorrect tip ribs.

After prepping the ribs, I took them outside for priming.

The skeleton was riveted together.

The skin was riveted to the skeleton. I was able to use the hand squeezer on most of the rivets.

Overall, the right elevator is looking really good! I can see an end to the empennage kit.
