Elevator/rudder

[Mike Betti]

Merry Christmas,
I recently finished the rounding of the leading edges on both the rudder and elevator of my Elite. Thanks to Al Hepburn for the posted instructions in the DCSOL files. I noticed Al, you had rivets in your weight doubler on the elevator. Although I couldn't see the doubler plates in the pics. My instructions only show the doubler on the outside and only the two screws that secure the weights going through them. I added the rivets like you did, seems like a better deal. If you save some of the scraps from the fus corners, they make good pieces to work with in this mod. Pics are posted on my website www.mikeselite.com
Thanks,
Mike Betti

Thanks for posting the pics, Mike ! I LIKE your crush tube blocks !
Would like to be able to zoom in on the pics - any way to accomodate
that ?? I'm sure other Elite builders will thank you for the great
detail shots of the elevator tips.

Looks like you are really chugging along making great progress !
A great example for the others ..... ;-)

At the rate you're going, maybe you can join us on the Rebel
Ramble to the West in July ! We'll be going right past your door,
with stops in Manistique and Ashland .... :-) Then on out
to the West coast, and back for Oshkosh.

I don't think the Elite will be flying by then, but I sure would like to
meet up with ya maybe in Manistique, I can fly the C140 there.
