Section 9 - Elevators (riveting trim tab spar and horn; scuffing elevators for foam ribs)

The beginning of this week didn't have much to report - just riveting the trim tab spar and horns to the trim tab, as well as scuffing all 4 skins of the elevators and 2 rear spars to accept the prosealed foam ribs.  I hope to accomplish more this weekend, when I have a little more time (busy week at work and with after-school kid activities).
