January 2, 2007 - Fiberglass Tips, Trim Servo

I finished trimming the HS and elevator fiberglass tips.  They still need a little work but I'm not far from being able to rivet them on if I wanted to.  I'm just going to pop-rivet them on per the drawings.  I probably won't fill the gaps.  I've seen them done both ways -- both look fine. 
From the left side.  I just have the VS clamped at this point.  I still need to make a shim for the forward spar and then drill the rear spar lower holes. 
 
I've gotten a lot of job satisfaction from mounting the HS, elevators and VS.  It's really starting to look like a plane!
I hooked the trim servo up to the battery from my electric screwdriver and ran it through the full range.  I'm going to have to order some connectors and starting running wires!
