Installed and tested trim motor assembly in left elevator. I had to "flip" the trim pushrod - drawings are confusing. Not a big deal. Connected the wiring harness before install - used a 9v battery to test. After this I used the battery to align the trim tab with elevator trailing edge. I completed riveting the rolled leading edge of the elevator. Also begain working on the counterweights for both elevators. Made a mistake in trimming two of these - ordered new ones. I struggled to trim excess material from the counterweights (required for one on each elevator). Finally "discovered" a technique using putty knife. I put a post on Van's Air Force about this: http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=144412
