Elevators

Did some work on elevator, and finished trimming the stabs; now all the surfaces are even..

started the elevator..once i had the balsa stick glued, i realized one of the sticks was bent, very much bent!!
i had to sand it to fix it, result is good..

Than i added the ribs, 10 for every side... 4 SIDES! ..boring..

Here the assembly, man those are heavy! some glue drops ruining the picture..

next step is building the balance tab, one of the best features of the real corsair, that gives that smooth looking shape.

 then the tab closing ribs, and the tips..these balsa tips are reeeealy soft... don't clamp 'em for any reason!!

now i'll have to glue the fake mini-ribs on balance tabs, install the torque rods blocks, and give the shape a reason to be, sand sand sand...
I need to look at some photos to understand the le shape of ailerons and the way they're hinged.
then the stabs le, sand sand sand and finally the balance and trim tab, to make it more scale.
see you!!
