I got started on my OMP 47" Yak today. Looks good so far, but I have to say that I would have preferred the elevator to be one piece like the Accel Katanas, Burrito, EF Edge. Gluing in that metal torque rod is not a big deal, but the one piece design with the elevator halves joined with a piece of hardwood seems like a better set up to me.

Measuring, cutting a notch in the leading edge, drilling holes, waiting on the epoxy to dry takes about an hour. Is there a benefit to using the torque rod? Is it less expensive? Does it work better?

OK, I'm finished whining.
