  Feb 23, 2019     Longerons - (3 hours) Category: RearFuselage

Refit new upper longerons and top plate that I screwed up a while back. Still had a problem with figure-8 hole in top of aft horizontal tail frame. I cut a piece of the old longeron and made a doubler to fit under that and opened up the holes to A5 instead of A4.
