Brief Description:  

Today I began to fit the hinge to the trim tab. That requires trimming material off the hstab where the hinge mounts, to allow for the hinge knuckles, thus allowing the trailing edge of the trim tab to meet the trailing edge of the left elevator. But when I did this, that moved the hinge too close to the trim tab spar in the hstab, so the fillet I added two days ago prevented the hinge from fitting flat to the underside of the hstab skin. So I had to remove the fillet and overlying bid,shape a much smaller fillet, then apply a 1 bid layer between the spar and skins.

Adding the additional layer of bid does have added advantages. That makes the hinge knuckle lower in relation to the skins and gives just that much more thickness for countersinking the attaching screws.
