Empennage - More Horizontal Stabiliser

I know, these look the same as the others. Yep, it's also a good record of the quality of the rivets - can't praise the pneumatic squeezer enough. It's awesome.

This is No.6 HS-912 hinge


Once the squeezer's set, squeeze away - they all end up the same!

The rear of inside left elevator hinges...


No.7 HS-912 (left to right)


No.8 HS-912


The rear of the inboard right elevator (HS-912) hinges


No.9 HS-912


No.10 HS-912


Rear of outside right elevators hinges...


I had to purchase a new torque wrench to install the Inboard Hinge Bracket Assembly  brackets
(HS-0911; VA146).
The nuts are required to be torqued to 28in-pnds.
I know, the following photo was taken at only 26in-pnds...



As you can see below, some scotch tape and red marker highlight what I shouldn't be riveting....not just yet anyway.
