RTV in the Elevator

[SuperCubDriver]

Today I riveted together the right elevator. And I just realized I forgot to put some RTV on the rear end of the stiffeners. It?s probably not a big problem. Did this happen to some of you and if so what did you do?

My -6 has been flying for over 18 years with .016" skins, no "sub" ribs, no RTV, and no cracks. You should not get cracks if you built according to plans and achieved the proper trailing edge radius.

Its fine. I did the same thing. Vans said "build on. there are many a plane flying with RTV in one elevator".

I put it in one side, then forgot the other side. I was thinking of some thinned proseal to pour in there. Not loosing sleep at this point.
