Oct 23, 2023     Vertical Attachment - (3.5 hours)       Category: Tail Feathers
Attached Rudder to VS with AN-3 bolts and castellated nuts. Needed to ream the hinge bushings to 3/16” to get bolts to fit. See photo for my extension reamer setup. Used parts from an old hand-crank style deburring tool, a miniature threaded jacob's chuck from my angle-drill kit, and the reamer.

Tacked rubber VS fairing in place. It requires notching in a few locations. Needs to be pushed on firmly to ease installation of the VS. Only a few spots needs to be tack glued— once the VS is mounted, it clamps it in place.

Attached VS-Rudder assembly to aft fuselage, and pinned with required bolts. Also include the rudder stop. Pulled tailBeaconX wires through the snap bushings I had preinstalled in the VS. Working inside the tailcone with limited access is quite difficult!
