Hey all,
I'm working on the LH elevator and trim tab and have gotten the bends on the elevator itself and the outboard tab pretty well done, but the inboard tab has turned out somewhat "less perfect". That said, I'm not certain that another go at it will necessarily produce a much better outcome, and considering that it will be covered in paint and such, my gut is to just build on. That said, I thought I'd ask your collective opinions before doing so:
The trailing edge isn't very pretty, I know, but otherwise the tabs seem to come together fairly nicely (when cleco'ed to the spar, the come together even better).
{Also: I'm familiar with the "riblet" method...not looking to change gears at this point, just determine if I should live with what I've got...}
