Brief Description:  Fit Elevators to Horiz. Stab

Well, My replacement trim tab skin arrrived from UPS with two dents in it - so i guess im waiting another week - oh well, still got a few until the wings show up so i can get some housekeeping items done on the project in prep for the wing.

I decided to fit the elevators to the horizontal stab and set the hinge distances. Pretty much went per plan. I had to grind down a needle nose vise grip to almost nothing in order to hold the bolts to slip them into their holes... (now, it's truly an needle nose) After setting the elevators the proper distance from the stabilizer i tightened down the hinge bolts and verified the up and down free movement. I bet I'll be verifying this again once i mount everthing to the plane and install the stops.

It was cool to see some things come together, especially after working in Limbo, rebuilding things for the last couple weeks.
