Hi,
I am doing one of the last steps of my empennage... riveting the trailing edges of the elevators and rudders. So far the good news...
Following VANS instructions I glued the wedges in with Pro seal. They cured for more than two weeks during my vacation on a flat surface. Yesterday I cleaned the dimples to finally rivet the edge and close the chapter. But... When I turned around the piece I noticed that it didn't lay flat on the table top on once side. This is both true for the rudder and the elevator. The trailing edge itself looks straight to me. Not sure that this is normal and that it is a good idea to continue like that.
Rudder:
Elevator:
Just to be clear this is before riveting!
