Apr 13, 2021     9-14(L) & 9-17(L): Left elevator and trim tab proseal - (0.8 hour)       Category: 9: Elevators
Not happy with the trim tab but I'm going to build on. Proceeding with the proseal. First, I re-scuffed the foam rib areas on the elevator and I also touched up the primer on the trim tab countersinks.

Proseal - Did the elevator first. I was a little more liberal with the sealant this time and got a little bit more squeeze out. I still feel like there is a gap in the trailing edge that I wish wasn't there it is straight though. I made sure that there was at least sealant filling the gap and it does look pretty uniform.

Inserted the foam wedges into the trim tab and got it set in the clamps.

Took some left over sealant and figured I would try to seal up some of the gaps in the rudder. We'll see.

I'll let that sit for the rest of the week. Not going to make much progress on anything else either - I have too many part spread throughout the shop at the moment.
