Two months "anniversary" and progress on elevator

Two months has passed since starting, and approx. 160 hours spent building plus another 10-15 on workshop etc.

The progress on the elevator has been good this week. Page 09-08 step 6 was completed today, but as I didn't understand how to sand/adjust the trailing edge cross section to fit the fairing, I decided to prepare the fairings in chapter 12 before proceeding.

Finding and preparing all the parts.

The tip ribs for both side assembled and match/final drilled.

Foam blocks are used as ribs. The templates from the manual
are just glued on with spray clue.

First two ribs cut. Very easy with a band saw.

The left elevator side has a trim tab, so the top and bottom
skin has a flange that needs to be bent 90 degree so they
mates together.

The piano hinge for the trim tab on the elevator is drilled.
 I used a caliper to adjust the hinge parallel to the
flange every 12-15 cm.

This is the area were the electric trim motor
will be installed. It will be accessible from below. 

I didn't understand how to adjust the trailing edge against the fairing
(as described in 09-08 Step 6). So I completed 12-05 step 6 to see how it looked.
It was then easy to see what needed to be sanded.

This is the final result after adjusting the trailing edge section.
