Mar 05, 2022 3 Stab spacers Category: Tail Feathers
Gluing some of the smaller items on the stabilator spar. These "in between" blocks appear to be placed to keep air in the front and back of the inside of the stabilator from mixing. The 1/16 " ply leading edge flashing will fasten to these top and bottom to form a solid wood "pocket". Each of these spacers was individually sanded to fit. Next I'll do the bottom spacers. I did have to trim the over glue from the inside edges of each rib to get a true fit. I am constantly amazed that my little drumel tool has been so useful in this build,
3/6/22 - turned the stabilator over and glued the stab spar spacers to the other side. Also in the photos is the Stab Trim tab I was able to purchase with the VP2 I bought in Canada. It is the same overall dimensions except for length. So I will have to remove some of the pop rivets and the outer hinges - cut to the proper length then reattach the hinges.
