Project: ecadorette     -     Entry

Jan 23, 2022 Vertical Stab work started Category: Empennage
I finished what I could with the HS and clecoed the elevator skins on. I am waiting on a new bushing to come in so I can bolt the elevator to the HS to finish riveting it together per the instructions.

In the interim I started work on the VS and preped and primed all of the parts. I decided to do the rudder first because I am still waiting on one rib for the VS. The rudder went together pretty easy with the exception that I had to put it together and take it apart three times until I got rid of a little bit of twist in the rudder. I think the trick was the last time I clecoed the leading edge together but I hadnt done the the other two times. The only thing left to do on the rudder is running a wire for a tail strobe that I dont intend to install but it will be possible later because I have the wire. Lastly I need to install the composite rudder tip. I am going to need a second set of hands as I cant hold the medal, the tip, hold the metal tight against the tip and also mark/ drill the holes.
