The LE bevel on each elevator is 60 degrees.




This is what I'll use to bevel those edges.




My home made bevel sander made quick work of it.




I like to keep things simple. I wrapped sandpaper around a deep socket.




I need to notch the top of each hinge opening to give clearance for the hinge knuckle.




A few passes and it's done.







This is what the hinge should look installed. The hinge line is flush with the tip of the bevel and the knuckle has room to flex.




Remember those large hinge gaps that I had before? Now the hinge gap is minimal.




Plenty of elevator deflection... I think it's good to go.
