I'm New Here
As we were finishing up the empennage kit we noticed that when the elevators were in the full up position (30 degrees) that the elevator leading edge tends to rub slightly against the rib rivets in the aft spar of the horizontal stabilizer. It appears to be most noticable if the "rolled" leading edge is not perfectily round. We are beginning to think that we should have used a smaller pipe to roll the skins in order to get more bend closer to the forward spar in the elevator. However it may be too late now. We have made sure that there are no rough points on the rivet heads and, baring any adverse problems, are going to live with it. Anybody else noticing this? Comments?
