Left Elevator Stiffener Matchdrilling

Today, a short hour in the shop matchdriling the left elevator stiffeners to the left elevator skin.

Here’s the top half of the elevator skin, with stiffeners clecoed to the inside. 

The rest of that process is boring, but I assure you I matchdrilled all the stiffeners, and in every hole, to both sides of the skin.

The fun part about the left elevator is the elevator trim reinforcement plate. Pictures are a little out of order here, but you use K1100-06 (dimpled nutplates for a #6 screw) to allow the access plate to screw down to the reinforcement plate.

I managed to locate the appropriate hardware.

Then I clecoed the nutplates to the reinforcement plate and matchdrilled.

matchdrilling.

After matchdrilling, I decided to set the dimpled cover plate onto the reinforcement so you know how things fit together.

Like a glove.

1.0 hours on the stiffeners today.
