Elevator Trim Tabs Rework Step 1

Published by olanandkate on

I finally got a new print out of the templates for the trim tabs. I glued them to the foam and cut them out last night. I did much better on them this time around as I knew the pitfalls with my machinery and also with my impatience LOL. I took my time and slowly cut along the line. These look almost 100% identical to each other and I plan to do a tiny bit of light sanding to get them perfect, but these look great. I won’t be able to work on the plane tonight but I have Eric Muehlberg from my chapter coming over tomorrow to do a spot check on the work I’ve done and give me some pointers or things I might need to redo that I didn’t notice. My reordered parts should arrive on Saturday so that will be good to get back on the empennage trim on Saturday. I am hoping to have the elevator trim tabs done on Friday night or early Saturday so that they are there for the rest of the work since they will be involved in that.
