Brief Description: Fitting trim tab skin to elevator, spar & hinge
|
|
Several shots of fitting the trim tab skin to the completed elevator.
The tab was fitted/drilled to the spar and elevator hinge on the bench.
Since the trailing edge bend of the trim tab isn't yet complete, it is a bit more challenging to ensure the trailing edge of the trim tab matches up with the trailing edge of the elevator... To complicate things a bit further, this dimension will change slightly when the trim tab trailing edge bend is completed. At this point, there is room to access/drill the trim tab spar to the tab skin and hinge, however if the tab trailing edge bed were completed, there wouldn't be a easy way to do this because the leading edge of the bottom of the trim tab would obstruct the hinge (where the holes need to go). Don't know if that made much sense...
Upon completion of the trim tab trailing edge bend, there is only very small, barely noticeable, mis-match in the edges...
