Brief Description:
modify hinge for trim tab
Not happy with the tightness of the hinge pin and the difficulty of getting it in out out. Caused by the mis-alignment after the close-out.
Decided to modify the hinge tab by taking out two sections of the hinge holes. Will leave me with a three section hinge... no single point of failure.
If this doesn't work satisfactorily, I will consider getting a replacement elevator/trim tab and starting over.
In hind sight, I wish I would have screwed in the tab hinges, rather than floxing them in as the manual indicates.
Will work on the hinge pin next session.

on both elevator and trim tab
