Now it is time to put together all produced pieces. First we install the
Elevators to the Horizontal Stabilizer. |
|
On a single seater aircraft this is about the size of
the wings! |
 |
 |
The Elevators get removed again and the Horizontal Stabilizer installed
on the tailcone |
|
The Vettical Stabilizer is also attached. |
|
 |
No, I am not building a satellite. It is on end of the
pushrod for the Elevators - partly assembled. |
|
Here I try to bolt on the Elevators again. I try to
smile but it is a fight though I probably have two of the smallest hands
in the builders community. I can't imagine the 280 lbs guys doing this!? |
 |
 |
Both Elevators attached. |
|
With the Rudder in place to looks like the tail of an
aircraft!
IT IS the tail on an aircraft, dummy! |

Lessons
learned
|
The parts for the
F635 Bellkrank Assembly
were not correctly produced by Van's. The gap for the rod end
bearing is about 1/8" (3 mm) to narrow. With Van's blessing I had to
rebend them myself. |
