More Trim Tab.. February 17th, 2007
After bending the flaps on each side, the next step is to attach the piece that will connect the trim tab to the servo inside the elevator. This allows us to trim the plane with the touch of a button.
This task was fairly easy, as three of the holes connecting the trim tab to the attach angles are already pre-drilled. It’s just a matter of clamping both pieces together and then match-drilling.
Then comes the hinge that connects the trim tab to the elevator. This hinge must be drilled in place with the trim tab spar. I used some mini-clamps to hold it in place and started drilling in the center, and working my way out. Not much to see here…
