No pictures, but I finished rough cutting the elevator stiffeners today. Twenty-nine of them in all. As with the rudder stiffeners, I simply drew a line between the notches and cut with the band saw.
After cutting them all to size, I started working on finishing the stiffeners for the right elevator. I got as far as filing down the taper with a vixen file before deciding to call it a day. The remainder of the finishing work will be done with the Scotch-Brite wheel.
I’ve decided to building the elevators one at a time starting with the right. The right is the simpler side since it doesn’t have a trim tab. Also, if I make a mistake, I’m hoping to catch it and have a fix before proceeding to the left!
