Short Description: A special design and build project
|
I decided to incorporate an elevator stop bracket of my own design. That meant several hours of experimentation and little to show for the effort but I'm fairly pleased with the outcome. I went thru at least two paper doll simulations before cutting a piece of 0.040 aluminum and then thought the load at full down (when the plane is sitting on terra firma) needed to be less than a point load so a thicker piece of 2140 was added.
