Brief Description:	New LHS Skins and Assemble LHS
I decided to take a day of vacation to get a longer holiday weekend. My rudder parts arrived this afternoon and with them were a couple of new LHS elevator skins because I messed up the tab bending on the original ones last week. This time I made sure I got the bend offsets correct and spent a lot of effort getting everything lined up as well as possible. This time I wrote the bend offsets on the parts to make sure I'd get them right. I found that 1/64 in. is the width of a Sharpie line, so the offset is very small. That's why the lower skin with the 1/32 in. offset has a thicker line. The end result was near perfection. No problems were encounted today, unless you count a stiff neck and back. Otherwise, the left side elevator went together quickly. I'm always impressed with quality of the fit in the RV-14 kit. It's so easy to get things lined up. Next step is to get the trim tab hinge match drilled to the elevator, but that'll be done tomorrow.
