Time to do some more double flush rivets on the elevator trailing edges.
Had to lift the back plate to ensure the underside was flush with it.
Putting a strip of tape along the top side was just to limit any marks on the skin that the rivet gun may decide to leave.
Very clean and very straight = very happy :)
If I put a long straight edge next to the trailing edge, I'm sure I would see some minor 'waves' in it, but you have to look hard.
Fit's nicely too. The little hole for the safety wire has been drilled below, but I won't worry about that this year.
Ahh, left elevator and trim tab almost done.
The plans said to fill in the back of the connector with silicon. Not really happy with how it turned out but I should've practised on something else first. I'll no doubt go back to this at some stage and put a better looking finish on it - it's sealed though.
