Finished drilling the elevator horn. Then mounted the horizontal stab to the tail cone. Feeding the trim cables went fairly smooth with the lighted 24-In flex-shaft mechanical pickup tool. I fed it into the rear spar hole and grabbed the end of the cable and pulled it through. Worked very well! I got Tomoko to help out by crawling into the tail cone to set some nuts that I couldn't reach. After that I back tracked a bit and accomplished the SB-00002 to update the vertical stab bottom rudder hinge bracket and rudder stop. I had to remove the original and replace it with an updated version. A newly designed bracket and much beefier rudder stop. Had to deepen the counter sink some of the screw holes on the aft spar. Also two holes needed to be filled with AN426AD4-7 rivets that I noticed were slightly long, so I trimmed them to the correct length. Once that was complete, on to mounting the vertical stab. It included using some Permatex Anti-Seize paste on the forward bracket. It's nice to see some tail feathers on the plane. It's giving me some motivation!
