Right elevator understructure
Assembled the right elevator understructure tonight, including drilling the holes through the lead counterweight, that is heavy stuff for a drill.
It went together quite quickly really, it looks more complete than it is, it will have to come apart again for plenty of work before any riveting takes place.

Back riveting the right elevator
I was making good progress too, until I riveted the wrong stiffener,
and only discovered it when I got to the last rivet.

I drilled out the full line of rivets, it wasn't too difficult in the
end, but enough for tonight.

Back riveting the elevator stiffeners
Just one rivet tonight, I came back quite late from our EAA Chapter
(315) meeting this evening. I got a look at Claudio Tottino's excellent RV-8 for a few minutes and his in-progress RV-12, I will definitely be going back to get some more guidance from him.
