Work continues on the elevators. Trim tab complete
11 Sep 2016 10 hours

Today I spent the entire day in the shop trying to make up for all the time I’ve been spending on Wendy’s barn, 10 hours today. Below is a list of stuff I got done:

  • Dimpled Elevator skins
  • Dimpled, Primed and Did some riveting on the trim servo reinforcement plate
  • Countersunk/Dimpled the elevator spars
  • Dimpled the elevator ribs
  • Primed and Riveted the Elevator Trim Pushrod
  • Dimpled, Countersunk and Primed the trim tab spar
  • Dimpled and Primed the trim tab skins
  • Bonded the trim tab foam ribs with Fuselage Sealant
  • Riveted the trim tab together

I got so busy I forgot to take pictures till the end when I was riveting the trim tab together

The foam ribs get bonded in with tank/fuselage sealant

The smell of this stuff reminds of building the fuel tanks on my first plan...good times!

The trim tab all riveted together!
