Today was floxing in the last two hinges. Relatively simple as the other four are in place and cured and the elevator is not going anywhere.
It is all correct. It has the 15 degrees up position. Plans say 12.5 degrees is the minimum. I really wanted the allowed 15 degrees given this plane will be fast and I may need the full range.
Down elevator has more than 30 degrees which is perfect. It will need a stop at that end before the counterbalance weights hit the canard itself. It is perfect where it is set. I can have a bit more than 30 degrees down if I want. I'm not sure if this is necessary as it might stall the elevator if I have too much travel. Nice that I have the range of movement for this to be an issue.
This elevator setup has been the most difficult part of the build so far. I took three weeks to do a job that might take a few hours if you got everything right the first time.
Good luck with your elevator if you are reading this and are yet to build one and fit it.
