This foam was glued together to make the elevator halves. Next
weekend we will probably hotwire these and mount them to the elevator
spar.

Elevator spar template
When we drilled the elevator for the dean hinges, we were off by just
a little bit, but enought that they did not move smooth enough for me.

I cut the first elevator spar in half, bolted the hindges on, then
glued a scrap of plywood across the 2 halves. I now have a template
to drill my new elevator spar.
Glued second front spar
This took about 5 pz of t88 glue. I always try to mix too much glue
and have something else ready to use the extra. This time I had to
mix 2 times and Still cut it close!
