Manual Reference:  6-12
Brief Description:  Completed the Elevator Trim Tab.

I used my 'Main Squeeze' and a standard 3" yoke to squeeze the hinge to the trim tab upper skin and spar. Then set the blind rivets in the inboard end, and installed the completed assembly and checked for alignment and freedom of movement. Everything lined up almost perfectly and there was no binding in the hinge operation.

Next up is to install the fiberglass tips.
