Left Elevator Tip Installed (3/30/10)

1.8 Hours -

The left elevator tip was installed in the same manner as the right tip. I thought this tip would go on in about half the time of the right one. However, it ended up only taking about 10 minutes less, but it was easier and looks slightly better.  At least I got smart this time and used a shop vac to suck away dust as I cut away the fiberglass flange with my Dremel.  Granted, I still wore a respirator and safety goggles while cutting.

The left elevator tip is on, and there is a pile of shanks from the blind rivets to prove it. This one was easier than the right and it looks a tiny bit better.
