Trim Tabs Formed and Drilled

The trim tabs arrived later than expected. They didn’t come until Thursday which I had other stuff that ended up happening that night. So I finally got a chance to work on it all today. I got the skins bent to their proper angle and then I got the ends bent as well. They still are further in than they are supposed to be. I finally got the first tab to bend properly on the second end of the first trim tab that I worked on but the second tab that folded over it for some reason still ended up further in than it should be. That is a very frustrating step. I kept eyeing over the block and it was not slipping on me, but I also couldn’t get the block as far forward as I wanted with the first tab bent up. I almost feel like you need to bend the first tab a little further out and then the second tab will fall into place. I don’t know. Either way that is all done. I went to final drill the holes but it appears that these new parts are final sized already so that work was for not. I still went through all of the holes just to check but they were all final sized. I then finalized it by bending the forward edge of the trim tab. I’ll work on priming it tomorrow and then hopefully getting to assemble it. I have a car wash fundraiser that I need to go to tomorrow morning with my boy but I have the afternoon and evening to finish those tabs. Fingers crossed they stay true. I used a flat edge and weights on the trim tabs while I was drilling the ends so that it would stay straight. So far they are still straight as can be so so far so good.

On a final note I did finally finish organizing all of the parts from the wing kit and I mounted the drawers to the wall so I had more table space.
