Elevator May 1

May 1

Elevator


Im moving forward and starting on the elevator, reading the plans much more slowly and carefully now considering my recent mistake these look like the most involved built yet. The first steps though are the same, getting the parts together, removing the blue, and starting basic mock-up.




Cutting some stiffeners


These elevator tip assemblies were a pain in the ass to get straight. The plans so to flute the flanges to bend the pieces so all three are straight and line up. i don't know if everyone has this much trouble but I spent hours trying to get this right and in the end just forced a much of clekos through the holes to hold it straight.
