Brief Description: Adhesive to both elevator trailing edges, started
|
|
Home stretch on both elevators - used the nasty fuel tank sealant on both trailing edges and wedge to bind them together, then clecoed to L-angle to hold straight. Two days were marginal for curing on the rudder, so I brought both elevators inside from the garage to speed curing. I also drilled, deburred, dimpled the left elevator stiffners that overlap and cover the space where the trim tab side fits - CS4-4 blind rivets were applied.Last, I started some of the trim tab prep - two foam ribs support the skin, so these were cut to size from a provided block (bandsaw oversize, sander to bring to line). Also, two clamps were fabricated from plywood (pic 2) that will be used to bind the skin on the ribs. And yes, more fuel tank sealant needed for these ribs. I have a 1 ounce size jar that will work well.
