Sep 27, 2020     Started assembly of the Elevator - (6 hours)       Category: Tail Feathers
With the horizontal stab completed up to the point of installing on the fuselage, I decided to move on to the elevator assembly. So far all went smoothly. I did have some issues when it came to installing the L angle brackets on the center channel and the middle ribs. It is a tight fit and getting a drill in there to match drill was difficult. I ended up riveting it together as a sub-assembly and then installing it under the skin as one piece. At this point, all of the elevator is clecoed together. The elevator is also hinged to the Horizontal stab and moving freely. I will need to make final adjustments to the tips once the elevator is riveted together. The final steps of the assembly will be to install the counter balance and control horns. Then I will install the trim tab and servo for the pitch trim.
