Empennage

Monday     May 9, 2016
Elevator  (2 hrs )

Sect 9-26 - worked on Counterweights to fit up properly.  Trimmed per instructions.   Another builder recommended using chisel to remove layer on backside (2 of 4 only).   It worked, but slow going on first piece.   While my bandsaw with small pitch teeth for metal bound up,  I discovered switching to all purpose larger pitch teeth worked really well to cut off the lead as needed.  Used wood rasp to level and trim to lines.
 

 

Rolled leading edges of LH elevator with help from my wife Nancy.  Cleco'd, so ready to do RH next.
