We got a couple short sessions in the shop working on the trim tab prep & wing spar nutplate riveting.
Everyone who builds a plane should have someone with tiny fingers to place rivets!
Meanwhile I aligned the trim tab hinge per the specs and confirmed it by aligning the tab with the trim tab cutout in the left elevator.
Trim tab match-drilled! Ready for disassembly, deburring, etc.
We continued riveting the nutplates to the wing spars on Sunday with Brian Judge's help. I have a few to buck where we don't have clearance for the squeezer around the 3/16" wing spar rivets and will post pics then.
Funny side note: Christmas cookie baking was happening inside, and Nat was clearly impatient to get out to the garge - she didn't like that I was working out there without her. I hope we can keep up that enthusiasm with everyone for a long time!
Empennage: 1 hr
