Title: Elevator Trim Tab
I realize it has been a while since I put in any information into the log, and then realized it was because I hadn't done a lot of work recently. Working on the light for the rudder tip, trip to Hawaii, son visiting before going to college, etc. What got me really motivated is that my QB kit is now on the second ship (of two) on its way to get here, so I need to wrap up this empennage. I worked on the trim tab. It is pretty easy. Just need to get the plastic off, adjust the piano hinge so it has safety wire on both sides, and rivet it together. The instructions said I needed to shorten the rivets but as shown in the side view, the 3.2mm x 8mm rivets fit just fine. I did need to shorten some rivets for the bracket that the electric trim motor attaches too, though. I hope to work some more on the skin this week and give my son a chance to drive a lot of rivets, then it will go back to Rosie the Riveter doing most of the skins...
