Aug 10, 2021     Completing the elevators - (24 hours)       Category: Elevators
I prepped the elevators today for pouring the leading edge weights. First I tacked in .025" steel plates. I brazed around the edge and smoothed them out. I was careful to keep the plates below the level of the tube edges so when the fabric is shrunk it will not contact the plates. Finally I welded in three cross dowels to give the lead an anchor.
