Left elevator beginnings
Hours: 1.4 | Posted in ElevatorsShort time in the shop today after work, started the left elevator. I discovered that I had already drilled the stiffeners to the skin with the right elevator, a nice time-saver. I was able to get the entire skin & skeleton clecoed, match drilled, and taken apart again. The parts await the next step, deburring. The assemblies seem to go quickly, I think partly because I spend plenty of time thinking about how it’s going to go together. I read a “working smart” article once that advised that building is easier if you build it once in your head first…I concur.
