With that completed I turned my attention to the installation of the elevator hinges. I then discovered that the canard is 3/16� to long and �� to wide. I spoke with Chad at the factory and he said I could leave the length as is but I need to make the trailing edge of the canard as thin as possible so the elevator will have enough up and down angle. So much for my nice prime coat, I took a belt sander and went to town on the trailing edge both on the top and bottom sides. Now the trailing edge is 0.10� on the digital calipers.
Shorter day today as it is my wedding anniversary and I dare not be home late. After talking to Chad in the factory I decided to remove the �� on the trailing edge to give the correct measurement of 12 3/8� from the front to back. I also sanded the bottom edge down to fiberglass to bevel it back as far as possible. I feel better knowing it is correct to the book.
