Elevators

Made steady progress on the elevators up to the first batch of priming.  Labeling the parts is very important on the elevators.  There are 16 ribs each with 2 pieces that have to match each other as well as their corresponding places on the skins.  Careful attention had to be made when cleaning the parts to ensure I relabeled them appropriately.

I also changed the way I deburr the skins.  I was concerned my method was removing material and do more harm than good on these thin pieces.  On a suggestion I used a soft cloth on the outside of the skins, running it over each hole and then used a Scotch Brite pad on the inside to do the same.  This in conjunction with using a reamer bit to match drill seemed to do the trick.  I visually inspected each hole just to be sure.

No burrs inside

No burrs outside.

Just for reference you dimple all the holes in these.

Minor mistake with squeezer, can fix it with filler later.
