5 hours
The left elevator and trim tab is filled with detail... although I have been able to catch and correct a number of missteps, I am a bit frustrated with the number of stumbles that I have had in completing it, and it is not yet finished...
I had hoped to finish today but ran out of shop time. Next I will bend the leading edge and fit both elevators to the horizontal stabilizer and get back to the wings.
the trim tab is finished, attached, and rigged up to the elevator

| trim tab mated up to the left elevator |
 |
| the hinge pin is temporary and will be replaced with a longer one safety wired to the structure later |
 |
| trim tab servo arm and wiring pulled out for testing to set the arm length |
 |
| trim tab servo and access panel |
 |
| it sure was a lot of work on this piece |
 |
| the trim tab nicely fits with the rest of the elevator |
 |
| very pleased with the gap... the first skin would have worked fine though... |
