Brief Description:  Elevator trim tab

Another long day... time flies when having fun!
The challenge of the elevator trim tab was too much...After practicing on scrap aluminium, I was happy with using the bending brake rather than the wooden former approach. There is an entry in the VAF where someone made their own brake from angle strip aluminium and a couple of hinges, and it too worked well.
All bends done in less than 15 minutes, and without skin blemishes at all.

Finished off the prep of the elevator parts, and did more tweaking to the rudder LE in preparation for a day with the paint booth.
