I started looking for other things to do and I decided to go ahead and rebuild the trim tab. I wanted to take the fabric off of at least one elevator anyway to check for corrosion. This gave me an excuse. Elton hadn’t finished the trim tab and it had a bit of a rub. I’m not sure how he planned to fix it but I decided that it’d be easy enough to make a new one.
The hinge material that I had didn’t let me use the existing holes that Elton had on the elevator so I cut that cross member off and made another.
I made a template from the existing tab. It took a couple of tries but I finally got one that fits pretty well.
