Description
Elevators are flight control surfaces, usually at the rear of an aircraft, which control the aircraft’s pitch, and therefore the angle of attack and the lift of the wing. The elevators are usually hinged to the tailplane or horizontal stabilizer. They may be the only pitch control surface present, sometimes located at front (early airplanes) or integrated into a rear “all-moving tailplane” also called a slab elevator or stabilator.
Made of Aluminum and Steel, this LATE-WAR Me109 G Elevator is in VERY NICE relic condition! There is some slight corrosion, damage, an bends, but it is still quite solid. It is 100% ORIGINAL, apart from the outer aluminum skin, which was replaced, as it was far too corroded. A couple of bullet holes in the ribs, and a couple of cracks, but nothing that detracts. The RARE feature is that it still retains traces of the original fabric AND camouflage paint! Paint consists of late-war RLM76, RLM74, and RLM83! Various part numbers throughout! Structurally sound for display, but not currently airworthy. EXTREMELY RARE, it would be a SUPERB item for any collection or display! Please email me if you need additional photos or information. |
