Saturday 15th March 2008 (2hr 40min)
Dimpled holes in the end tabs of the trim tab. Riveted the counterbalance assembly for both elevators. Riveted rudder counterbalance assembly. Drilled out mashed rivets on rudder skins and elevator skins and re-riveted them.
I borrowed a long-nose no-hole yoke and a longeron yoke from my pal Bryan (QB7). I really did not fancy bucking inside a restricted space such as the rudder counterbalance arm. These yokes made the job easy. The only difficulty was in getting the longeron yoke over both flanges of the elevator counterbalance arm. The trick here was to remove one of the rivet sets. There is plenty of space to put it back in once the yoke is in place inside the flanges.
