Much work and photographs have been taken, but I've been too busy to post it all! I want to hinge the elevator halves to the stab, but because of the unique tips and critical clearance involved, I have decided to attach the tips on the stabilizer first then proceed to the hinging. This will allow me to better and more accurately determine the clearance of the elevator tips. More to come...





These are the tips for both the stabilizer and elevators. Solid 3/4" balsa. I've drawn a line that goes around the perimeter of each tip denoting the center.




I've indexed off the plans the angle that I will have to cut each tip. I'm being careful with my measurements as I only have one try to get it right.




Using my Zona saw, I cut each tip on my mark.
