Elevators started
Hours: 3.0 | Posted in ElevatorsStarted the elevators today; spent some times messing around to see how it all goes together, then cut the stiffeners to their appropriate lengths and drilled. I intend to proceed along the same path as the rudder: fit everything together first, then prime everything in one session before assembly. That may change, but it worked well for the rudder. After everything’s ready, I’ll proseal and rivet the trailing edges. In the meantime, I’d like to play around with the squeezing method for setting the TE rivets, one way is described on Matt Brandes‘ site, that uses a scrap piece of AEX wedge. I haven’t looked to see if there’s any that will be left over once the TE’s are cut, but perhaps I can beg on the forums for a donation from someone who broke a piece…or take apart my practice kit TE and use that.
