Riveted the root rib to the main spar

The instructions don't say much about this. I knew from working on the right elevator that I would need to countersink the main spar for the rivets that hold the root rib on. So I sanded the edges and primed the area where the root rib attaches to the spar. Then I used my Avery no-hole yoke to rivet the root rib to the spar.
