Love in an elevator

The Stearman got a few work overs today. The wing tab on the right was a bit long with all the CA repairs and the wing wasn't fitting snug. I had been looking for an excuse to redo the tab, so today I snapped it off, Dremel sanded a 45 degree slant on the wing side and an opposing one on the tab, and CA'd them in place. I also shortened it a mm or so. Fits very snug now. I was doing this before heading out to the field so I was rushed and realize I didn't take any pics. I started this afternoon working on the right horizontal stab and elevator. In cartwheel landings it tends to take a hit, and is cracked with a subtle but clearly evident flex. I opened the cote and CA's the cracks, and added an angled cross spar. Does the job perfectly. Re-coted and done. She flew marvelously today with these two repairs. Landings were sweet, even in a light crosswind.

The cote removed. The screw point at the cracked sections.

Match stick wood spar CA'd in place. Re-coted and looks as good as new!
