Brief Description:  Removing the trailing edge bulge on right elevator

When I bought the kit, the tail was 60% in progress; the skin stiffeners were riveted and the spar also was riveted on one side. I did a good inspection and the work done was well done.

But the folded trailing edge had a typical bulge Van's had often warned about. To correct this, I built a small hard wood tool 1"X 2"X 6" with the edges sanded down to prevent marking on the aluminium. Voila ! It worked !!

So for now, until it get inspected, that piece is considered complete.
