More Rudder Trim Tab

Today I think I mostly finished the rudder trim tab. I added a stiffener to the control horn and left skin of the tab, visible in the picture below. That took most of the time for the night, but then I also added in the trim servo and measured how long the linkage would need to be:


The rudder trim tab with the inside still visible, screwed into the L skin, with the servo and linkage set in their approximate places.

The servo seems to work perfectly with this setup! I also cut the opening for the inspection panel and riveted in the doubler plate. Tomorrow, I think I'll have my "off the map" rudder work done and be able to get back to the manual!
