Complete set of elevator ribs in various stages of completion.

I pushed the plane outside today for a quick photoshoot.

Lightening holes being done on No 6 rib.

Number six rib during manufacture. Made from .020" 2024 T O condition (soft). The ribs will then be sent off for heat treatment.













































Three sets of dies used to press lightening holes on number six rib.

Jig being welded up around Wirraway elevator.

Next steps are to pick up the trim tab hinge area and also a number of points at the trailing edge.

Wirraway elevator on loan from a fellow restorer will be used to build a jig to enable new elevators to be manufactured.

Second incomplete Wirraway elevator is being disassembled to allow form blocks and patterns to be made. There are a number of differences between Wirraway and Boomerang elevators most of which will be incorporated into the new build ones. One major difference is a chrome molybdenum steel torque tube. Another is the mass balance which is bolted on externally as opposed to faired over in the Wirraway.
