There is not enough room here for dimpling, so I decided to do like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nippaero.com\/log\/20071008.php\" target=\"_blank\">Mike Nipp<\/a>, and install NAS 1097 rivets here.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rv-7.dk\/wp-content\/elevators-075-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"elevators-075-400\u00d7300.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Here the brackets have been riveted to the cover.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rv-7.dk\/wp-content\/elevators-076-400x533.jpg\" alt=\"elevators-076-400\u00d7533.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rv-7.dk\/wp-content\/elevators-077-400x533.jpg\" alt=\"elevators-077-400\u00d7533.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Finally I installed the servo in the brackets, and the whole thing into the elevator. I had to extend the servo with a 9volt battery to get it to fit.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rv-7.dk\/wp-content\/elevators-078-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"elevators-078-400\u00d7300.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Then it was time to roll the leading edges. I pretty much got a system down for doing this. Using the pipe wrench really helps a lot, furthermore using the wrench in the slot between my tables, allows the elevator to rest flat on the table.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rv-7.dk\/wp-content\/elevators-079-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"elevators-079-400\u00d7300.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rv-7.dk\/wp-content\/elevators-080-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"elevators-080-400\u00d7300.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Thats it!!! The left elevator is done, so is the empenage. Well, still need the fairings, but I will do all those later on.
