Brief Description:  Trim Tab

Made a homemade "bending brake" from 8/4 poplar plank and 4 3" hinges. Made the final bend to the trim tab. Bend was more complete at the ends of the tab than the center. Clecoed the trim tab spar to the skin and tweaked the bend with the hand seamer to get nice flat surface going back from spar to trailing edge.

Masked off the areas that the foam ribs will bond to and sanded with 150 grit Al2O3. (Would have been a little easier to do before completing the bend, but I got the masking tape down straight with some flat sticks, and taped the sandpaper to the blade of a combination square to reach back and roughen everything up real good.
