Tail Install and control cables
 |
|
| I read this on someone else's aircraft. I put JB weld on the threads to reduce the friction through the fire wall fire seal. Looks good | |
 |
|
| Dry fit the fairing on the rudder | |
 |
|
| The Fairing and rudder in place with the stops at the bottom. Had to trim on the horn and stop to get the required 20 - 22 degrees L & R deflection. | |

|
| I ran in to a slight problem with the aft hole. I am too tight to the radius. So I made a shim to relieve the stress in the radius. | |
 |
|
| Another view. Should work fine | |
 |
|
| Wow | |
 |
|
| Another view | |
 |
|
| Looking forward | |
 |
|
| Here is the template for the elevator travel. I also used this to level the tail. I used a laser level to make sure the stab was square with the fuse. | |
 |
|
| I added a fan to exhaust air through the cabin. That bubble canopy can get hot. Hope this will help | |

| Polished the nose gear forks and installed the #10 fasteners. Drilled the axel and installed the fork back on the nose gear. | |

| First use of the nicopress | |
 |
|
| Also went a head and put some heat shrink | |
 |
|
| Installed on the rudder pedals. | |
 |
|
| Here is the aft connection. Hooked up the rudder and moved the pedals. The rudder even moved in the correct direction! | |
