I've posted a photo of the channel formed on the inside of the counterbalance arm on the elevator of my RV7A.
I've noticed that some builders fill this in with fibreglass...and some do not.
The advantages of filling it in may be aesthetics and aerodynamics. The disadvantage is that if it is not done properly it may dislodge and obstruct elevator travel (with very serious ramifications).
Does anybody have any recommendations on a secure method for filling in this channel.
