Folks -
I am in the process of repairing the left elevator of my -6, where a previous owner tried to modify an early manual trim to electric trim (without moving the hinge line). Obviously, this didn't work well. Now, I am trying to graft in the new sheet metal to cover the hole and mount the servo. My question to the brain trust is this - I have en edge that will not be well supported by rivets, and I would like to attach it with an adhesive. What is the best (easily obtained!) adhesive for aluminum? Do I just use 5-minute epoxy, or is there a better alternative? Thanks in advance, guys!
