Trim Tab 7 (1.0 hr)


Tonight I installed the elevator trim tab and rib-let.  All went well, and I’m happy with the result.  The trim tab will be complete when I install the blind rivets on the end tabs… a quick task.  I am not going to install the trim servo until much later in the build. I still need to roll the elevator leading edges, and then I’ll essentially be done with the empennage for this stage of the build.  The tips will still need to be done, as well as installing the control surfaces and controls but that will all come in good time.
