Angier:    Since your post (with illustrations) on this subject several
people have raised questions that echoed my own, but we've seen no
further elaboration.   Did your process apply micro to the trailing edge

of the HS or the leading edge of the elevator? And what was the purpose
of  second aluminum angle?  I sense there is a very useful procedure
here if I could understand it.

Hi Charles,

Nothing was added to the leading edges of the elevators. With the
elevators held rigidly in trail, I actually extended the the HS trailing

edges to the rear by creating a sandwich of sorts with flox/micro and 1
bid top and bottom. The purpose of the second aluminum angle was to help

in forming a flat top surface. The end result is a .050 gap with
elevators in trail and the elevators slightly fatter that the HS.
Depending on how well your HS and elevator skins went together as well
as how you positioned the elevator hinges, you may need to adjust the
gap slightly to achieve full up and down travel.

Hope this helps
