Peter Barber asks about the LNC2 elevator hinge pin  and clevis...

Peter (I assume it's you and not your wife, but if I'm mistaken, please
forgive me Karen), my trim tab is attached with the standard hinge.  It's
secured with safety wire through holes at the extreme ends of the hinge so as
to trap the pin inside.  I've never felt the need to remove the tab, even for
paint.  If you need to for some reason, pull the elevator off the stabilizer
then the pin will come out without a rudder problem.  You are right about the
short arm problem.  I simply cut down both plastic clevis to fit, still
leaving plenty of internal thread.  Worked fine.
