Aug 17, 2019     Wrong RH Upper Skin - (1.5 hours)       Category: Elevator (V)
I discovered that the wrong part was sent with the original kit. Part is labeled correctly (303-00002-03) but its not the correct part. RH Looks to be an unrolled lower skin. Worked with Glasair and they will be sending a replacement when the wings ship. This will casue a delay in finishing the Elevator however, I can still move forward with building the rest of the Elevator and trim tab.
