jpolenek Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 While working on the bottom surface of my canard, I've discovered that the trailing edge is about 1/16" too short, according to the Canard Bottom Contour Checking Template. Should I... (1) Repair the canard TE to extend it. (2) Leave the canard TE short but install the elevators forward by 1/16" so their position relative to the canard TE is correct. (3) Don't worry about it. Proceed per plans. Joe Polenek Quote Joe Cozy Mk IV #1550 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Steve Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Joe: On my canard to get full travel I might have to sand off 1/16" or more to get my full up elevator.
