warped elevator ribs

When I installed the elevator ribs they were all nice and straight, so I didn't bother with stiffeners. But now after sitting for months the ribs that are not supported by the elevator structure were all warped to some degree... so I added stiffeners to them all.

: rib with stiffener clamped in place

: starboard elevator

: port elevator

: this rib is not quite supported by the structure, but is close enough to bond to it

: spacers to hold straight while bonding
