The elevator pitch trim tab was installed on the left elevator using a MS20257-1 piano hinge. First the piano hinge was cut to the size indicated in the builder's manual. We had to rely on the picture as the text did not have an actual hinge size. The size ended up being 12 inches in length. The piano hinge halves were pre-drilled with a #40 bit. All the parts were then put in place and the final holes were drilled with a #30 bit, which is the final size for CCP-42 rivets. The parts will not be riveted until after the elevator is covered and painted, so in the meantime, it is held in place with clecos. Hours: 2.0
