Horizontal Stabilizer

The aluminum brackets have been drilled and temporary bolts have been installed until the correct ones arrive.

The trim tab was cut out with the rotozip trick with the metal cutting blade. The foam in the ends of the tab and elevator were dug out to 1/4"deep, A mix of epoxy and flox was used to fill the spaces. Two small aluminum tubes from the RC hobby store were incorporated as the tab's hinge. Make sure that one tube just fits inside the other. A "V" notch was cut into the nose of the tab. T-88 and flox was used to glue in the larger aluminum tube. Trymer foam was put on the nose, sanded, and the nose was covered with a strip of 6 oz glass.

A layer of 1.5 oz was placed over the whole tab. A hole was drilled in the elevator to fit the smaller hinge tube. All was floxed in with a washer on each end of the hinge tube to keep the gaps from binding.

A 1/4 scale model control horn was floxed and bolted on to the tab. The nyrod was attached to it.
