Next steps for the elevator assembly involved back riveting the trailing edges. I followed the same method as with the rudder trailing edge, but this time inserted all rivets along the top side of the elevator so that the shop heads would all be along the bottom trailing edges (and therefore less visible). After taping the rivets in, I flipped over the elevator and used a narrow flush rivet set in the rivet gun to partially set the rivets. Starting from the middle and working towards the ends, I partially set each 5th rivet, then each rivet in-between, and finally the remaining rivets. Rivets inserted and taped along top trailing edge Rivets partially set along bottom trailing edge I then removed the tape, flipped the elevator over again, and used the pneumatic squeezer and trailing edge squeezer set to finish setting each rivet, again starting from the middle of the trailing edge and working towards the ends.
