It's the left. I've left a voicemail and emailed you.

Thanks!

Found one!!!

Now I'll get to fly the OLC week tasks at El Tiro next week - May 21-31.

Hank also saved me when I was desperate for a 27 canopy frame. Thanks Hank for keeping junk around which may come handy someday!

So I ended up borrowing a horizontal stab from a friend in CA, but unfortunately, it doesn't fit. So I put his elevator on my stab and that also doesn't fit. Looks like I would need to remove about 1-2 mm to fit my wider elevator drive.

The repair to my damaged elevator should be complete in 3-4 weeks, so I'll just fly club ships when I get the urge.

This Movie sucks...where's the clicker?

Do you REALLY need a elevator?
I've read here on RAS you can fly a ASW 20 without the elevator hooked up, if you know what your doing. Isn't -the 27 very similar?

Well, Tom's a bit on the crazy side, but I don't think he's an idiot.

Hey Tom, remember that day that Kathy Taylor landed out in the bison
ranch south of Westcliffe?Â* She borrowed your ASW-20 trailer for the
retrieve and forgot to hook up her elevator after rigging at the
airport.Â* Fortunately Joe Berger discovered the oversight when he passed
by her ship and wiggled the elevator...Â* In case you didn't know, both
Kathy and George have taken their last thermals; just a few months apart.

I know a guy that leased a helicopter to a movie company for two months. The bird can back with holes drilled in the fire wall for a smoke system!
