This morning, the stiffeners are back riveted to the skins.



Then I built the folding brake as to fold the trailing edges, I tested it with the trim tab.



Next, the right elevator was assembled and drilled.



To end the day I folded the trim tab, but it seems one of the bending lines is not correctly set, I'll see with Van's.
