Apr 16, 2023 5 Elevator assembly and disassembly Category: Empennage
Solid day in the airplane factory today - finished assembling all of the left-side elevator now that I received that missing part from Vans. After going through all the assembly of the left, and (again) double checking to make sure I had the counterweight-side assembly corrected ordered with the top skins, and then drilling many, many holes (final size drilling), I disassembled both of the elevators in prep for deburring, then prime, then dimpling.

Couple of things I should note so that I don't forget in the future:
1. Left boxes in the instructions that I skipped (mainly just dimple-steps, since I prefer to do that and machine countersinks post-prime
2. I'll need to sand down the trailing edge wedge as I previously primed that and it's gonna get some pro seal.
3. I'll need to remember to mask the areas for the foam blocks so I don't prime that part of the skin.
4. Double check all of the parts and make sure I've labeled everything
