Brief Description:  Bending left elevator trailing edge.

This was quick and easy to do again (the second time!). I taped in the 1/8 inch dowel in the bend of the elevator trailing edge. Hint: Don't tape it in very securly, or reaching the tape later to remove and pull out the dowel is hard. Just hard to reach with your hands down in the folded elevator.
It just takes a moment to bend it, just put it in the bending brake device. Shove it all the way back toward the hinge and fold it over. When the stiffeners touch, open it and clcko in the main spar to see how the bend worked out.
