I'm just about to roll the leading edge of my elevators and upon checking the plans
the way I look at it. The top half of the elevator should be slightly longer
and be on the outside when riveted, so that the rivet is just a bit lower
than half way around the leading edge.

But on both of my elevators the longer edge is on the lower half.  Have I got a
problem or am I just looking at the plans wrong?

-8, 8A Drivers,
I'm looking for good engine instrument solutions to accompany a Grand Rapids 
EIS for the right third of my -8 panel.  If you have an  EIS plus instrument 
combination you like and would recommend, I welcome your input.  Thanks.

I'm trying to mount the electric trim and the screws won't go into the platenuts
and I'm really laying into them and starting to bur the heads.  Also I'm worried
about stretching the skin with all the force I'm putting onto them.

Is there any trick I'm missing or do I need to run a tap through the platenuts?
