Brief Description: Re-fitted elevators, mass balanced them
|
|
Re-fitted the elevators, fabricated spacers for the hinge and the pushrod assembly. Much easier to access without the VS in position!
Balanced the elevators using lead shot,, needed 240g on the port side, presumably to balance the trim mechanism. SB side needed 125g.
Made a mould from srcap aluminium, then created an epoxy fibre reinforced lead shot composite to backfill, getting good mechanical and edhesive bond. Left slightly below the surface, and will reinforce with fibreglass/epoxy once fully cured. Ive made the mass balance slightly heavy, as there will be more painting yet, which will hopefully then be fully balanced each side.
