Brief Description:  Finished Riveting Trim Tab Hinge

Today I finished riveting the trim tab hinge on the elevator. The bottom forward part of the trim tab was interferring with the elevator skin so like many other builders I just slightly bent the bottom forward skin of the trim tab up just a bit to get the clearance I needed as shown in the second pic. It turned out really nice with easy movement and about 30 degrees of downward deflection and way more upward deflection.
