Oct 12, 2021 5 Putting the nutplates on the trim motor, finishing up the elevator Category: Empennage
Nothing too exciting on this one, I just got some screws to hold nut plates in place for the trim motor and then riveted them on to the trim motor. This is part of a service bulletin that Sling put out. I don't know what the old way to hold the motor in place was, but apparently it wasn't strong enough.

Then I lined up the elevator with the rest of the horizontal stabilizer to make sure everything was where it should be. It was. This is a nice kit to put together!

Also, I had my first tool break. I used it to help peel the plastic off the aluminum, and to hold things in place while I got ready to rivet them, and for many other things. We had such good times together! I'll miss it, but for now I need to get a replacement airplane tool...
