The previous owner of my kit had completed the horizontal and elevator long ago. All of this work needs to be redone.
I spent a couple of hours heating and removing the Hysol and this is what I'm left with. It looks like the previous owner sanded down to bare metal in several places prior to fitting the ribs. There was a bit of rust but minimal.
I'm thinking I might just have both the horizontal and elevator re powder coated before rebuilding but I wanted to get some forum input first. Is it necessary to re-do the powder coat? I'm just don't think the new Hysol will cover all of the exposed metal.
Thanks for the input.
