Brief Description:  Trim Tab assembly #5

Lots of progress today. Riveted the bottom of the trim tab to it's spar. I located the trim tab on the elevator and matchdrilled it per the plan. I then reassembled and checked everything. Then I trimmed the end of the hinge on the elevator side. Once that was done, I uncleco'd everything, deburred the elevator side of the hinge and primed the same. Next is to rivet everything together and call it done. It was 25F out there and I can only work about an hr without heat. I need to go by a heater. Last weekend I went looking for one like Mike's (forced air propane 55,000BTU), but no one has one in stock and I have been too stubborn to order one from Amazon (where Mike got his). I'll keep looking.
