Brief Description: Bending tab for trim tab on left elevator skin.
After practicing on the spare skin, I was ready to try bending the tab on the real thing. Actually, I got lucky on the spare skin since that one folded over very nicely.
The real one - shown here - worked fine also, but I wasn't' totally happy with he bend line. I had some creases and dimpling when I was done that kind of bugged me. Shoud I put the wood back in there and pound the skin with the riveter or try something else? I decided to go to bed and sleep on it and ask on the Van's Airforce forum.
Bending the elveator skn.
End view. Not bad, but just not toally happy.
Kind of creased looking. No pleased wiht it - yet!
