Building the Left elevator was a non event until getting to the trim tab. After spending a bit of time forming the block to get the ears bent, I got the first bend OK, but the subsequent bend didn’t come out so well. It was time to order a new tab, along with some more E-703 ribs so I could go the riblet route.

Test fitting the trim tab once the ears are cut off.
