This is the center hinge bracket with the bearing assembly clecoed inbetween the brackets. Holes were match drilled through the bearing plate, which was primed with NAPA 7220 Self etching primer, after masking the center on both sides to prevent the primer from messing up the bearing. This bearing receives a bolt that connects the control horms of the two elevators - the things that make the plane go up and down, and do loops, and other fun stuff! This is also the first actual subassembly that gets riveted together.
This site was created to provide friends and family with a vehicle to track my efforts to build a Van's RV 8 Aircraft kit. The dream began in the Summer of 2008. The actual building began in 2009, with the arrival of the empennage or tail kit. I will periodically update the site with photos and comments about my progress.
