Title: Started on Stabilator service letter SL0000-68
It was good to get back out to the hangar to do some work. The little camper has been given away so have more elbow room. I took the stabilator, put it on the worktable and started working on the service letter. I don't really know what the point of this is. Allegedly, it was hard to install washers when attaching the stabilator to the empennage. I don't know. I don't remember that long ago. I know there are washers super-glued to the brackets and these, I guess, are replaced by shims. Whoopdy-doo. I'm not the best driller-outer of rivets and a few have to be removed to remove the inboard brackets and nutplates. But I got most of the out without trouble and the ones that gave me troubled didn't result in buggering up the hole too badly. The next step is to prime some bare metal on the brackets where I've sanded super glue away so I've got to hit the NAPA store and see if I can find some.
