Hi All,
Here's an idea for those of you that are planning to cut the tabs off the left elevator where the trim tab cutout is and make a "false" rib..
While searching for some scrap aluminum to make the false rib, I came across my practice airfoil project that I purchased from Vans' before I began this project.
Anyhow, the end ribs on the airfoil project match the contour of the elevator trim tab cutout perfectly.
I drilled out the rivets and removed one of the end ribs from the practice project, and then cut the last 3 1/4" off of the rib. Ta-Da.........A false rib.
