I took the Right Elevator down to Lockhart and showed my work to some of the local builders, the looked it over and agreed that it was ready to be closed up. I also showed them the left elevator and some options were discussed, one possible solution is to just cut the elevator skin back about 1/4 inch put in an end rib, then make a new trim tab making it 1/4 inch longer then the one supplied by Van's. This would eliminate the area that was cracked, but it would require that I become more of a builder than an assembler at this point. I will have time to consider this because it will take 8 weeks from the time I order the wings until they arrive.
