Brief Description:  Elevator Cover 1

I fabricated hinge fairings for the elevators so as to allow the fabric to be glued to the fairings around the hinge points, and made access panels so as to accomodate removing balance weight should the elevators prove to be over-balanced. I then trimmed, shrunk and glued more Poly-Fiber fabric to fit the elevator frames. In addition, I Poly-Tack'd the access panel rings onto the bottom of the elevator weights, and Poly-Brush'd a fabric gusset over them, and applied a Poly-Brush brush coat. Next is rib lacing. The landing gear, and alll the control surfaces in the slipstream will be heavy fabric, as will the fuselage bottom, the remainder being medium fabric. I'll do the taping after I've completed the landing gear.
