Feb 06, 2023 2.8 Rudder and elevator caps Category: Tail Feathers
Continued working on rudder and elevator caps.

1. Final sanded the rudder cap.
2. Cut, prepped, and bonded reinforcement strips into the elevator caps.
3. Drilled mounting holes in the L elevator skin.
4. Planned and researched methods of filling the back sides of the various caps.
5. Trimmed the left HS skin about 3/16" to give enough clearance from the elevator counterbalance.
6. Filed clearance notches into the lead weights and attached them to the left elevator. Changed to a longer bolt and added a few washers to get the elevator slightly "overbalanced."
