Hey guys, I've got a question regarding elevator construction. The cap strips are 3/16" thick and the gussets are made from 1/8" ply, but the trailing edge has shoulders of only 1/16" (according to the 1933 plans). What's the best way to handle these differences? I have a couple of ideas but I might be missing something obvious or easy. Keep it rolling Corky!
