Can somebody please
describe (or provide a picture of) the leading edge of the elevator trim tab on
a Legacy? I'm interested to see how the factory does the curved surface on
the non-hinge side that covers the gap when the trim tab moves down (from the
plans it looks like the Legacy hinge is on the bottom and the gap is on the
top).
The LNC2 MkII plans require the
builder to attach a foam strip to the trim tab, shape it and cover it with
BID. This works OK if the hinge is attached with rivets as the plans
specify, however if you want to use screws (in case you ever have to
replace the hinge), it's pretty difficult to fit the hinge with nutplates over
the foam towards the outboard edge of the trim tab.
Thanks,
