The down side of taking 7 years (so far) to build an RV is that's 7 years when stuff can get misplaced. I've looked everywhere for the second elevator fiberglass tip but have concluded it's not going to be found. Great, that $30 I didn't need to spend.
I'm curious, though, if the elevator construction has changed since I bought my emp kit in 2001. Is the trailing edge still bent,or is that now done using the wedge (like the rudder?)
I ask because it seems to me it'd require a different fiberglass tip. I see on the Van's site an E-612 is going for $30 and I don't want to commit to buying it until I'm sure it's the right one.
Also, why is the RV-9 elevator fiberglass tip so expensive? $54??????
