Sep 17, 2023     Starting Elevator prep - (2.5 hours)       Category: Tail Feathers
I've started working on the Elevator by gathering all of the punched parts and looking at what steps I could accomplish while I wait for the necessary replacements for the laser-cut ones. Hopefully the promised ordering form will become available later this week, though I'm sure it will be weeks/months before I receive all of the replacement parts.

After some blue film removal, I cut the trailing ribs apart on the bandsaw and then smoothed all of their edges with the Scotchbrite wheel on the benchtop grinder. There was also some deburring of the existing rivet holes with my hand deburring tool. Then I clecoed all of the rib halves together as instructed, which also keeps them together and minimizes the chances of getting lost.

Then I marked the Shear Clips with a pen and cut them apart on the bandsaw as well, followed by edge smoothing.

What's next? Looks like cutting some pieces of foam for the trailing edges.
