Step : 2 Deburr the edges of all the Elevator parts.

Note: This will be accomplished at all appropreate  stages.

 
Step : 3 Cleco all the E-1008A&B Rib Halves together as shown in Figure 2. This is the correct orientation of the rib halves, and will ensure proper hole alignment when they are attached to the skins.

Using a #30 drill, final-drill the four common holes to the rib halves. Label each half so they will remain paired together throughout the construction of the elevators.

Step : 4 Make sure the flanges of the E-903 outboard and E-904 inboard Tip Ribs , shown in Figure3, are bent 90°, adjust them with a hand seamier if necessary.

Note:  Deburr all the edges

Step : 5 Straighten the E-903 and E-904 Tip Ribs by fluting between the pre-punched holes in the flanges. Check for straightness using the matching holes in the E-913 Counterbalance Skin.

Step : 6 Make two Tip Rib Assemblies ( one for each elevator ) by clecoing together the E-903 and E-904 Tip Ribs and the E-913 Counterbalance Skin as shown in Figure 3. Remove any vinyl from mating surfaces before clecoing.

Final-Drill the common 1/8" holes in the rib webs using a #30 drill and the common 3/32" holes in the rib flanges and the counterbalance skin using a #40 drill. Do not drill the line of holes around the counterbalance skin witch do not match-up with a rib, or the holes in the top and bottom of the counterbalance skin indicated by the circle in Figure 3

Final-drill the three 3/16" holes at the front of the ribs with a  #12 drill.

Step : 7 Separate the four E-1022 Shear Clips by removing the material shown in Figure 4.

Final-Drill all the holes in the shorter flange of the shear clips with a #30 drill, then deburr all the holes and edges.
