I just found an aprox. 2 cm crack on my rt elevator just aft of the aft end of the center stiffener. I have heard that this is not uncommon. 77 hours on the airframe. I've stop drilled the ends. I'm considering injecting some RTV into the area to dampen the vibes. Is this a good idea? any other suggestions?
When I built the elev. I encorporated a modification of the stiffener rear end which supposedly would prevent said cracking.(a sl bend up off the skin) So much for that idea.
