Started working on the Elevators
Tonight I started work on the Elevators. There was a lot of prep work on small parts tonight. First I had to cut and separate the forward elevator rib halves. Then I cut and separated the rib shear clips. Finally I cut and sanded the foam aft elevator ribs.
The forward elevator ribs before being cut and deburred. Notice the black pen lines, they indicate where the ribs need to be separated
