I have been working on the trim tab and managed to cut the hinge wrong. I came up with this solution, thought I would run it by the experts. I sectioned a short piece of the hinge off and spliced in another section keeping good edge distance and two rivets on the short piece. I am way too anal to run it like that, so I am going to order another hinge, but I was curious if this was acceptable?
I also had a question concerning the control horn for the trim tab. The one which came with the electric servo has an entirely different pre-punched rivet pattern than the one in the kit. The one in the kit needs modified for the electric trim, but will fit the pre-punched holes in the skin. I am thinking I will use the one that fits the rivet pattern, but am open to suggestions.
What say you oh wise ones!
