Great Planes Yak 55 3D FlightFlex EP ARF Part 3
Elevator installed...
The elevator install went pretty well.. I test fitted the carbon fiber rod in the elevator before installing it to the tail. No cutting needed. I then fitted the elevator to the horizontal stabilizer and tested the swing of the elevator. Wow that was very smooth and swung freely.
My concern now was not being heavy handed with the glue, and getting it all over the place and not having the elevator swing freely.. See previous post on my episode with the ailerons mess-up. Anyway this time all went well.
I made sure all the surfaces were in alignment using those bull-dog clips as seen in the pix. Now looking at that pix I think I might add some bracing flying wires.. I don't know yet but it look like it could use it..
