Trim Tab needed desperately

[cropduster]

Desperately looking for a trim tab for a 41 BC-12 Deluxe. I am restoring this airplane and this is the one thing holding me up right now, as I am doing the fabric on the elevators.

Re: Trim Tab needed desperately

If you can't find one to buy, mine is off my 41 Deluxe right now and I could probably get a pant load of pictures and drawings to let you make one. It is not terribly complex. It is the aluminum one with the piano hinge on the top of the leading edge, not the wood one (which I also have but would need to dig out of the boxes for the 45).

Hank, if i don't find one, i may have to see if you can send me the pics. I'll wait for a few more responses and see what happens. thanks

I will look and see if I have an old one for a pattern. i know I have one that has been fabricated, but never finished.

Re: Trim Tab needed desperately

I would be interested in purchasing the one you have fabricated if you find it. Alos I need the lever on the tab that attaches to the mechanism from the screw on the elevator. Please respond. Cropduster

Ragwing, Do you know of a guy by the name of Mike Redpath that lives in OK. I purchased the elevators I have on the project I am rebuilding from him and never got the trim tab. maybe he still has one. Please let me know if you know how I can contact him. cropduster

Re: Trim Tab needed desperately

Thank You, this happened about 3 or 4 years ago. I sent you a set of 2 hinge elevators with new fabric on them, and you sent me a 3 hinge set without fabric on them, but they were cleaned and painted and ready for fabric. Latter I sent you a new metal ( alluminum ) trim tab for the elevators, but I never got the trim for the ones I got from you. I am just finishing this project and this is the one thing holding me up. Thank You for your coperation. Mark
