Brief Description: Elev: Bending the trailing edges
Using my bending break as described during the bending of the rudder trailing edge, I popped each elevator skin intothe bending break and cranked down on each, gradally using more and more of my weight. Stopping every so often to check the bend and to reposition the skin and weight appropriately.
In no time I had two elevator skins each resting on their respective spars with no perceptibe bow in neither skin nor trailing edge. Quick and easy this time round!
