The Trim Tab

Modified Trim Tab

I Decided to modify the standard trim tab for the RV9

I used this website for inspiration

Thank You

So instead of the standard folded trailing edge, I split the the fold and added an AEX trailing edge. Then using pieces of left over stiffeners I made stiffeners to match the elevator's stiffeners. A reinforcement angle was also added by the elevator cable bracket.

The above view is of the general layout of the reformulated trim tab.

Next is a view of the actual drilling of the trailing edge of the left elevator.

I take all my own pictures so I am a bit proud of the hand shot.
