Tonight I got started by building this break tool from some oak boards and a piano hinge from Lowes. Wanted it to be nicer than the one I used for the RV-7. Success!
This gets used to finish the bend in the trailing edge of the elevator trim tabs.
You put them in here and squeeze it down just the right amount.
I had to purchase another scale tonight since I am close to needing to open the black death. The wife sold the one I used with the RV-7 in a yard sale sometime in the past 10 years. :(
Next I followed the direction and got some spray glue for the templates that get glued to the foam rib stock for the foam elevator ribs.
All glued and drying.
Then I match drilled two aluminum angles to serve as trailing edge straightening devices. Not sure if I am going to pro-seal them or use the VHB tape like I did for the rudder.
Next I countersunk the AEX trailing edge wedges for each elevator. Somehow I did not do them when I was suppose to.
All cleco'ed awaiting the next step...
