Started work on the Anti-Servo Tab

This is the trim tab for the stabilator.

Removed the tabs from the trim-tab skin. I used my tin snips to cut off the tab, but left some of it in place to do a final cleanup with file.

Time for blue film therapy. Soldering iron with a rounded tip and a metal ruler.

Exposed the rivet holes. Looks cool too...

Heated up the blue film in side the skin. Seems to make it a little easier to pull off.

Smoothed and sanded the edges with 320 Grit sandpaper.

Here are the spars for both trim tabs. Ready for edge sanding.

Next... Ribs! Little bitty dudes.

Clecoed the spars inside the trim tab skin. Tight fit!
