Brief Description:  left elevator, rudder leading edge

Bent the tabs on the left elevator skin. Found it much more difficult and less forgiving than the trim tab bends, as the bending blocks kept slipping under pressure of the vise. Even the double stick tape wasn't enough to hold it as well as the screw I had put in for the trim tab bends.

Creased the skin a bit on the bottom, but was able to squeeze and massage it out fairly well. The trim tab appears to be lining up nicely with the elevator itself.

Rolled the leading edge of the rudder. Used a 5/8" piece of steel pipe at first but went to a 1/2" piece of aluminum conduit. Uncle Earn had a suggestion which worked well. He drilled a hole in both ends of the conduit to enable sticking a screwdriver on each end and rolling it that way. Worked well.
