now working on the single trim tab (boost tab) and guess who is going to do the upholstery? LOL

working on getting the trim tab just right, still need to make it look like not wood . Pushrod I had to turn from a bigger piece and mill the end to be square as original, not too hard to do but time consuming and loving it

Roger....I'm guessing that in this pic, the yellow one is the original (full scale). Looks like it had electric trim....????

Yes your exactly right, the yellow one is a picture sent to me by Ray, who owns the one and only full size Dalotel, he has been most helpful with the pictures for details.
It does have electric trim, and mine will have the servo at the same location but will act as a boost tab instead. Today I finalized the installation, I had to make the pushrod to keep things scale but no big deal, also I am making a much bigger removable cover to have access to the servo, this part is not scale meaning you will see tiny screws .
