What seemed like a big milestone step was pretty uneventful. The prep work was done, just needed to cut a block of wood to clamp between the forward attach brackets and then measure for alignment. I started measuring with a string, but it had too much stretch to it. Ended up using safety wire. Even though the wire is not perfectly straight, it would not stretch no matter how hard I pulled. I was satisfied that the stabilizer was on square and then drilled the four bolts. That was it. HS mounted.
Bolted the forward attach plate for the the vertical stabilizer and was going to mount it too, but the ceiling got in the way. It's too tall for the garage!
I'll have to wheel the whole assembly outside tomorrow to install the VS. it's really just for the photo opp anyways as it is all immediately going to be taken apart so I can go back to the beginning of the section when my elevator control horns hopefully finally arrive soon.
