SETTING UP FOR ELEVATOR TESTING – October 1, 2020
Switchblade engineer, Davd Nobles, is setting up for doing the elevator deflection testing. We tested the ailerons and flaps, which passed earlier. Now the elevator will be tested. This is the dicier one, as the length from cockpit control to the elevator is much longer than the wing controls tested earlier. The VT tail is 10 ft across at the T and in flight mode it stands 9 ft off the floor. (The camera angle makes it look even bigger.)
