I trimmed my replacement rear spar, then deburred it. I used a hacksaw to cut off the excess 11/16 of an inch, and then filed it down to final shape.
Then I was able to assemble the right elevator and final drill the few holes that need it. These are the gusset that joins the rear spar to the inboard rib, the tip rib web to main spar flange holes, and then the elevator horn holes. I also measured and trimmed the trailing edge wedge, using a hack saw and then filing down to final size with the vixen file.
The next step is to sand the outboard trailing edge wedge to match the shape of the fiberglass tip. Then I’ll disassemble the right elevator, and debur the few remaining parts. That should set me up for priming this weekend, then it will be on to dimpling.
