Elevator Build

Bending the trailing edge tubes.
 

Test fitting the Elevator Control Horn Assembly

Fitting the ribs for gluing.


Setting up two leveled tables for rib fitting.

Wire used to keep inner reinforcing tube from shifting out of place.

Kitchen microplane used on foam to achieve desired shape.

Leveling out temporary ceiling hangers.

Epoxy layup of fiberglass. Painters tape helps keep ends in place during curing.

The day was a bit cooler than optimal for epoxy cure. Sunshine helped out.
