Hi All,
I think most people read the manual ahead of the part they are working on,
but if you're like me, you might not remember everything.
I am currently working on the GS stern post, which is coming along quite
well, except I looked at the control rod for the trim tab on the tail plane
and thought the gap from it to where the rudder starts looked a bit small.
I decided to check the size on the tail plane and it even measured to small.
At this point I started panicking but couldn't figure out what I could
possibly have done wrong as I hadn't trimmed anything off the upper fuselage
(except sanding it down by maybe half a mil.). At this point I decided to
take the rear end of the plane off the stand it was mounted on and try the
tail plane. Now I was worried, the trim tab was stopping the rudder
moving...
A quick call to Neville reminded me about the section in the manual about
cutting a corner from the trim tabs.
Panic over and the brain started working again, I even remember now that I
had read about someone else having the same problem as me:) Happy building
to all those still building!
Cheers,
Mark.
