Subject: RE: Re: Elevator Skin, Not as expected
Hi all,
After getting a lot of good responses here and talking with Caleb at zenith,
the solution to the miss measured skin (still not sure that is what it is as
everthing seems right exept the top skin shy about 20 mm) is to cut the
short skin back to the trailing edge of the spar and slide a new piece
underneath it to the leading edge of the spar (maybe a little more in each
case to ensure edge distance),thus both pieces will overlap each other.
Prior to doing any cutting ensure the new piece is long enough, wide enough
and alligned, I'll match drill the new piece through the old piece (already
drilled) and that I will cut off. End result, one extra seam line, no extra
rivets, no drilling out all the rivets in the bottom side of the skin and no
need to start from scratch on the elevator, "pheuuuww".
My challenge now is to find some .016 - .020 6061-T6 here on the west coast
or North West (US). Does anybody have a recommendation?
As an aside, I have gotten great support from Caleb at Zenith on too many
queries.
Regards,
Perry

Hi Perry: I think you will find it easiest (and in the long run cheapest) to
order it from aircraft spruce. I have sourced a few other local sources for
some raw materials, but for most part spruce has been the best supplier as
the service has been very good, and they know what you want when you order.
You can have the .016 rolled. Dan Hill 701 scratch builder.
