First off, happy Independence Day to everyone!
Our new left elevator skin arrived on our front door step on Friday and now we're back in business, but now we just have to wait until the E720H bar arrives. Once I got home from work Dad and I got to work on the trim servo brackets. We were able to drill the six holes for the brackets and the finished product came out straight and even! Having the trim servo mounted to the plate looks really cool, and it definitely looks like it belongs in an airplane.
We also finish drilled the new skin and deburred the holes as well as the edges. We picked up foam sanding blocks from The Home Depot and they do a beautiful job for smoothing out the edges of the skins. Hopefull tomorrow we'll be able to prime the new skin and dimple it and be back at square one. Just this time we'll make sure everything is clamped down securely, and I doubt we'll be using the rivet gun to finish the bend..
