Re: Elevator Model III Flat?
The manual for my Model IV says that it is to help the control surface to be "self centering". Not sure if it helps, but I left mine as built...
Re: Elevator Model III Flat?
This exists in both of my model IVs (1050 & 1200). When I rebuilt the elevator in my Mangy Fox project plane, I left the offset as was from the factory.
Re: Elevator Model III Flat?
DENNEY AIRCRAFT manual dated 24 SEPT.91 Sub SEC. E-ELEVATOR Page F-E-1 Reads as follows NOTE: When you inspect your FE-70 Elevator weldment you may notice that the trailing edge on one side is about 1/2" higher than the other side. It is built this way so there will always be an air load on the elevator and it will not be blanked out by the horizontal stabilizer. DO NOT "STRAIGHTEN" THE WELDMENT!

Re: Elevator Model III Flat?
thanks for the info . glad that during my tail project last winter i didn't waste my time correcting that on my elevators . i was aware of the offset between the two but couldn't believe they would allow their jigs to be that far off .

Can't hardly see the offset without the straight edges.
