Brief Description: Trimming Horizontal Stabilizer for Elevator Swing
After marking the materials to be trimmed off the upper and lower horizontal stabilizer and removing the elevators; I drilled a radius hole and trimmed off the tabs with a shear. I was suprised I needed to cut off approximately an inch on both sides of the stabilizer...since there was nothing in the instructions or the diagrams which required this step. At first I thought I must have messed something up, but after looking through other builders construction logs for a couple hours, I finally found a guy who showed these same type pictures and explained the process he used to remove the excess materials.
