Matt’s RV7 Build Log

Tonight I was able to get the trim tab clecoed into position on the left elevator. I am within 1/32″ of the trailing and inboard edges which I am pleased with. It looks as if the travel needed will be within spec once I get the bottom of the trim tab bend to clear the rivets in the elevator.

• Match drilled the forward hinge to the left elevator assembly
• Trimmed inboard edge of hinge
