Subject: Lightning trim tabs
Hi Tex,
I'm in the early stages of building kit 66 and have been exchanging
emails with Nick at Arion discussing the trim tab. It seems a good idea
but its appearance is just a bit crude compared to the rest of the
airframe. Nick tells me that you have changed the design and cut the
trim tab out of the elevator instead of using the add on metal part. He
gave me your email and suggested I contact you about it so here I am.
I would appreciate any information or photos you care to share on what
you have done with your trim tab and how it has turned out. What did
you do to provide a solid attachment for the hinge line? I presume you
had to fashion some sort of structure to support the trailing edge skins
and the leading edge of the tab.
Cheers,
Selwyn

Hello Tex
I just viewed your email about the trim tab you built. Very Cool! It
appears that you cut a section out of the trailing edge of the Elevator
and bonded the hinge into the end sections. Is that correct? I like your
craftsmanship. Very straight cuts! Please share your technique. I wish
I had seen this about four weeks ago.
Thank Tex
Gary Pennington
