The elevator. The thing that moves when you pull the stick back. It’s what makes the plane go up and down. And I am now building one!
You begin by cutting together 16 parts than reconnecting them. Why? I don’t know! That’s just what the directions tell me. In this process, we also found Colleen’s favorite part of building yet: peeling the blue plastic from parts! That works out great for me, cause I don’t care for it!
Anyways, the elevator ribs have been cut apart, deburred, clecoed back together, and final drilled. Next, I got the end ribs pre-assembled from 3 different parts. This is the beginning of the elevator that sticks forward of the rest out on the ends. And finally, I cut out 4 shear clips that are going to be used to reinforce the corners of the elevators.
Oh. And I also got the completed horizontal stabilizer hung up on the wall out of the way!
Man, that stabilizer looks sweet hung up!
Love the vid this time! Very cool to see all those piles transform!
