Finishing the Elevator(Before inspection that is!)

Well, we are almost completely finished with the tail kit for now. We riveted the other side of our hinge for the trim-tab on to the elevator and finished off the rivets on the elevator's top side.
A couple of small things to do before we book our inspection. Two rivets on the trail-edge of the elevator and install the hinge bearing bracket on the stabilizer and torqued to proper spec.
Also called Van's about getting our wing kit on the way. It's 25% down at time of order so i think we'll be doing that in the next week or so. They say it can take 6-8 weeks to get it crated and shipped. We'll have ours shipped to Montana and then drive down to pick it up. It's going to be a fun winter!!
