F1 Mod – Elevator Spar Stiffener Angle

February 1, 2016 by admin Leave a Comment

Today I began to work on some more F1 Rocket mods on the elevator spars. This is similar to the rudder spar stiffener that I recently wrote about. The previous post talks about the specifics for these stiffener angles. I’ll keep this post short so as not to drone-on too much.

Here is a diagram of where the elevator stiffener angle is located.

Update: This post has more pictures of the completed stiffener angle and other elevator mods.

The angle.

Here are a couple pictures of how it fits against the spar and tip rib. Again, all the #40 holes will be drilled to #30 prior to the final assembly.

Here is a shot looking at the outer side of the tip rib.  Yeah, the work space is a bit tight right now but I’m getting work done which is the main thing!

Please comment, I love to hear from my readers.  Thanks again for coming along for this ride, you make my work worthwhile.
