Nov 09, 2021     Rolled LE and FINISH - (5 hours)       Category: Empennage
Leading edges were rolled ( what a complete pain in the a$$, if I never have to roll another leading edge it will be too soon) I made a rolling tool I saw on VAF. It worked really well except I think the pipe was too big, I'm not sure why they used this size, but I would change the OD to 3/4” or a touch less next time. The rod end bearings were installed to the prescribed depth and the elevators were hung. WOW, it legitimately looks and acts like an airplane piece. Unbelievably the elevators balanced pretty much spot on. I did have a slight rub on the inboard side of the elevator at the last degree or two up, which was pretty simple to fix with a little seamer bending. Well after a few months, it is complete except for the obvious fiberglass and drilling the horns, but that will be later. I have really enjoyed building so far and I am very excited to receive my wings but vans is way behind, so hopefully soon. I purposely drug my feet a little towards the end of the emp kit in hopes the wing kit would arrive, but it hasn't happened. So that's it until the wing kit arrives, hopefully in a month or two.
