Finishing Trim Tab
The new hinge material arrived. I was able to get it drilled and seated correctly. The riveting was a little bit tricky. The loops on the hinge make it a challange to squeeze. Fortunately my rivet set kit came with a flat set that is about 3/8″ high. I have never used it, so it took a little getting used to. Make sure you put the hinge wire in the hinge too. I found out the hard way that just a slight bump is all it takes to knock one of those loops out of whack.
I know it doesn’t look like much, but this is the first moving part on my plane! I think its pretty darn cool.
