In Canada you still need 3 inspections: #1) Before closing the spars. #2) Before you apply the finish paint (referred to as the "pre-paint" inspection ... naturally! ;-) #3) Final inspection. At least that's what I remember when I lived in Canada 2.5 years ago during a conversation with the members of EAA Chapter #185 (Windsor, Ontario). I wouldn't think this would have changed since then but you may want to confirm this with other current Canadian builders.

Well, I noticed that one side of the elevator lined up = alright with the gap seal, but the other side was out about 3/16" on the = outer edge. I looked it over and measured everything and I couldn't = figure out what was wrong ... until I picked up the elevator and checked = the leading edge for alignment. I noticed that one side of the elevator = was slightly warped. Picture this if you will ... take the elevator and = twist it only on one of the outer edges until the leading edge at the = outer edge drops/rises 3/16". That is what I ended up with on the one = side.=20 Q1: If I were to straighten the warped edge with a clamp and then slowly = heat it with a heat gun until it was formable, and then let it cool, = would this adversely affect the strength of the part? ... Q2: Is there a way to straighten this part before/during post-cure? ... =20 Q3: Are there standard industry methods to repair this type of defect? = ... I know that the weight of clamps can cause slight distortion during = cure, but shouldn't the piece return to its normal state after the = clamps are removed? I used several 2" spring clamps to hold = straightedges in place on the trailing edges and I noticed slight = distortion during cure due to the weight of the clamps. I didn't think = anything of it ... until tonight. I mean, one side came out nice and = straight while the other side warped about 3/16". Hmmm ... Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.=20 If you are kind enough to reply, could you please include an explanation = of how to repair this type of defect in general.
