Dear Listers,
First let me apologize for the discontinuity of List service over the last
two days. There is a faulty transmit pair between here and the "B-Box" and
I have been having a heck of a time trying to get the phone company
motivated to fix it. I am now trying to get them to take one of the analog
phone circuits to temporary get the T1 line circuit up. They are
indicating that to repair the existing T1 circuit they must dig up a
cross-connect in the street which will require a Permit from the City! Who
knows how long that will take to complete.
For now, connectivity is intermittent, but working. Email should flow
fine, although web server access may be a little sporadic. I'm working as
hard as I can at getting the situation resolved, but with the holiday and
all, its just been a nightmare.
I will post more information as it becomes available... Again, my
apologies; I thought upgrading to a commercial-grade T1 would elevate my
connectivity issues once and for all...
Wish me luck!

Matt, don't sweat it so much, G.I., it is a holiday, and we all appreciate
what you do for us. Enjoy your time with your family and friends.

I used only solid rivets on the tab. I used a pneumatic squeezer with a
longeron yoke (taped up for scratch prevention). It hooked over the spar
perfectly. Tab turned out straight after making sure there was no twist in
it while letting the proseal set up (I cleco'd it to the elevator and
aligned the tab's trailing edge to that of the elevator).
I also contemplated doing the riveted tab trailing edge (I bought an extra
skin and wedge), but after fitting the bent-edge tab to the skin, I wasn't
offended by it's not matching the elevator edge. In fact, I felt the
riveted edge and stiffeners combined with the hinge line and gap to the
elevator would (IMO) look too busy, so I bagged it.
