Elevator and Trim Tab
- (1.5 hours)
Category: Tail
Used a Dremel with a sanding disk and file to open the hole that the push rod goes through. Installed 4 A5 rivets to hold the trim motor servo to the elevator skin. The plans called for A4 rivets but my skin was drilled for A5 rivets. My wife and daughter helped to temporarily attach the elevator to the horizontal. I just wanted to make sure everything lines up before moving onto the next kit. All looks good. Took apart and bagged remaining parts for when it gets attached to the fuselage. Put the stabilizer and elevator on the wall shelf.

Trim Tab Horn
- (3.3 hours)
Category: Tail
My trim tab assembly kit had 2 trim tab horns (8H4-7) in it. One was predrilled for the attach holes and the other was not. I used the one with the predrilled holes but I just noticed that the hole for attaching the push rod clevis was drilled to a #21 not 1/8". The other trim tab horn is drilled to a 1/8" so I decided to remove the other one and install this one. Drilled out the rivets. Used double side tape on the new trim tab horn so I could move it around to where it needs to be and drill the holes. Primed the mating surfaces and rivet it to the tab. Cleco the tab to the elevator to check the deflections. The angles actually increased and was able to get 31.5 degrees up and down. I now need to cut more of the elevator skin where the push rod comes through.

Wiring Trim Tab
- (1.8 hours)
Category: Tail
I liked the idea of using D-Sub Contacts for connecting the wires to the trim tab servo so I could heat shrink all the wires. Connected the 5 each D-Sub contact pins and sockets together and used 3/32" heat shrink to hold them together. After the heat shrink was done over the connectors, then slid a piece of 1/4" clear heat shrink over all of them to hold everything together. Cleco the servo and push rod assembly into place. Checked the full up and full down deflection to make sure I still have the desired degrees. I'm getting about 28.5 degrees each way. Made the hole in the elevator skin, that the push rod comes through bigger, but still need to trim some more.

Trim Tab
- (.8 hour)
Category: Tail
The trim tab servo mounting holes were 1/8” but the holes in the elevator skin were 5/32” so drilled the servo holes to 5/32”. Marked the top side of the rocker switch and indicator to make it easier when mounting to the instrument panel.

Trim Tab
- (3.4 hours)
Category: Tail
Worked on wiring and testing the Ray Allen trim motor. I adjusted the push rod and was able to get 28 degrees up and 28 degrees down. I ended up with 155m between the clevis holes on the push rod. Only temp installed the servo to adjust the push rod.

Trim motor cover plate
- (1.4 hours)
Category: Tail
Decided to make a little larger trim motor cover plate because the one in the kit didn't cover up the rivets from the nut plates that I added. Used 6061-T6 .025 and cut it 1/8” larger. Matched drilled it with the original one. Used 6 each AN526C-632R6 screws.

- (1.7 hours)
Category: Tail
Rivet the elevator horns and horn angles with A5 rivets. Did not rivet the hole on the lower horn that attaches to the elevator L angle, SD75H6-7. The lower elevator stop, SD75C5-9, will be getting attached there on the final Assembly drawing SD75-ZZ-05.

Elevator VG's
- (1.3 hours)
Category: Tail
Masked off the area around where the VG's go and where the trim tap mounts. Used red scotch brite and cleaned areas for primer. Painted with self etching primer. Sanded the edges of the VG's to remove the rough edges. My son from New Orleans was home for Thanksgiving and helped today.

Elevator
- (.8 hour)
Category: Tail
I found that the rivets along the elevator trailing edge were not going all the way into the hole because they were hitting the rivet from the other side. Took 7 A5 rivets apart and sanded the rivet down a little bit and reinstalled the stems. Installed the 7 trailing edge rivets on the elevator.
