Time for the cut. I used my tin snips to cut off the tab, but left some of it in place to do a final cleanup with file.
My favorite part - removing the blue stuff. This is very time consuming!
Finally! The blue stuff is out!
Now for some blue film therapy. A metal ruler and a soldering iron do the trick (and it looks cool...).
Nice look! Protects the finish as well. BTW, I rounded off the tip of the soldering iron to make sure that all it does is melt the blue film and doesn't scratch the skin.
Inserted the spar and ribs inside the skin. Now for some riveting!
Cleco, cleco, cleco.... I'm going to need more of these...
Time to rivet. These pop-rivets are so easy! Feels like cheating...
Time to rivet on the Trim Tab. I assume this will need a little adjustment later when this dude starts flying.
Thar' tis...... A thing of beauty!
