Project: BuckRV-8     -     Entry

May 19, 2008 1.8 Elevator mounting Category: Controls
The first thing on the list of projects today was to trim the right edge of the aft fuselage deck so the right elevator horn would clear it. I used a cutoff wheel in the Dremel to make the cut, then a series of files, to get it looking good.

Next, I set the elevators in trail and verified the up and down deflections, then trimmed the lower HS spar flange so the horn will hit the "down" stop. I used a tapered grinding stone in the Dremel for most of the serious material removal.

Finally, I began trimming the "up" stop to achieve the desired elevator deflection.
