Left Elevator Tab Bending

Good Day All,

Remember the two little tabs that you are supposed to bend on the left elevator (opposite from where the trim tab connects. We had to do the same with the trim tab)? If one were to cut off the tabs (instead of bending them for a third time :eek: ) what piece would slide nicley in the space to close the opening off? Would one of the tip ribs, cut down, fit in there and keep the necessary shape of the elevator skin?

I could always fabricate one however if there is an exisiting part that I can get from Vans that will do the trick then I'll try that.

Thanks

Chris
 
A E703 should work for the outboard end of the trim tab and an E709 should work for the inboard end of the trim tab.

Good luck!
