It's leading edge day!
I followed the same procedure for the elevators
as i did for the rudder. This seemed to get the leading edges to within about a half an inch of each other, then i was able to massage them together. I worked hard to make sure the top skin was tight against the bottom skin, but i needed have bothered! As it turned out, even though they looked good once rolled, i had to massage them a lot at the trial fit (see below) and this opened up the skins a tint bit.

| I used tape to help hold the skins together - in the end the tape was leaving residue and i worked out it was not totally necessary - i could just carefully cleco them together. |
 |
| Note the "D" shape - this was simply how it turned out when i tried not to crease the skins at the spar. This ended up rubbing on the HS (more below). |
Elevators are complete!
DONESKI!
So with that, the elevators are done!
