Trim Tabs Bending and Horn Trimming

Published by olanandkate on

I spend a little bit of time this weekend working on getting the bend right on the lower portion of the trim tab skin. My initial go at it was still kind of wavy. I went to bed but didn’t like how it turned out. The next night after work I sat in there and really worked up and down getting the waviness out of the bend and the second go I feel look much better. I’m not a pro but it looked straight to me and seemed smooth enough. I used my snips to get the majority of the material off of the control horns and then cleco’ed them on. I will finalize the material removal on the deburring wheel when I go to prep the parts before dimpling. I am going to do the final size drilling tonight which shouldn’t take too long.

Another update on the wing kit! It’s all paid for and I got an email that it was crated while I was at Oshkosh and they are working on shipping arrangements. Curious to see what those shipping costs are going to be. Might be cheaper for me to take a few days off and go drive to pick it up lol.
