Elevator Woes continued….

So I came home from work and inspected the glue joints of the Elevator. As I expected I was less than pleased with the quality of the workmanship. I have no one to blame but myself. However I believe I observed a discrepancy. Even though the plans call out for a 1 1/4″ wide piece of balsa, the ruler measures the actual width at 1 1/2″. I double checked the box to make sure i didn’t use the wrong piece, which I did not. This leaves me to the conclusion of that the piece is incorrect. Either way it doesn’t matter. I goober-ed the lateral cut making the elevator too short. I also messed up the 3/32″ wire bend. I shall replace the wood with a proper fitting piece and try again. maybe this time I will show a little more patience.
