This blog follows the assembly of an all aluminium Van's RV-8A aerobatic 2 place aircraft kit. When completed, the aircraft is inspected by the 'Light Aircraft Association's' approved inspectors and when satisfactory is granted a permit to fly. Aircraft kit no. is #80697

This is a photographic record of my build project and is primarily of use to me and other builders.

Elevators: Right Dimpling

The right elevator skin is just a little more rigid than the left skin because it does not have the trim cut out.

To enable me to dimple close to the trailing edge I used the large roll of tissue which I kept pushed against the opp. skin using my left arm. This avoided any dents occurring.
