Mark another one off the list. The elevators are done (for the most part.)
There was a lot going on today, but between the family visit and very close game kick ball, I was able to finish up the elevators. This consisted of fabricating the trim tab hinges, riveting the hinges onto the elevators and trim tabs, and bending the hinge pin so it can be safety tied. I do have a small list of “to do’s” left. I am replacing the stock trim tab cable brackets with a set of billet brackets, so I have to wait for those to show up to finish the trim tab access plates. I also need to attach the counter weights, but I need to find my bag of washers before I can do that. It’s got to be around here somewhere!
