[rebel-builders] Rebel - Elevator and Rudder Bend Reinforcem

[Bob Patterson]

Hi Rich !

No worries ! Never seen a problem on Rebels.

I'm assuming you have done the L doubler on the outside elevator
ribs, as well as the semi-circle doubler above those ribs, under
the skin....

You already know about hand-pulling the end rivets, if necessary,
to clear the rivets on the other side - slowly, with a bit of an angle
until started. Same as on the ailerons.... although, you could
just drill new holes with separation ...

Gents,
I am getting ready to close up the rudder and the right elevator. A friend

mentioned that RVs used to have a problem with cracks along the trailing
edges of the ribs near the bend in the skin. Has this ever been a problem on
a Rebel?

Thanks for the help!
