May 08, 2023 1.5 Complied with Stabilator counterweight service bulletin Category: Service B's
Finally gorgeous weather in Minnesota so took the e-bike over to the hangar looking for something to do. Originally I was considering putting the stabilator on for good so pulled out the service bulletin and kit which is pretty easy. Just take the weights off and throw away the hardware (I don't reuse hardware), fit the new "mass balancing straps" and then use them as the drill guide to drill 3 holes on each side. Remove, deburr, reinstall and then rivet with six Cherrymax rivets. The only question I had was Van's sends four washers where only two are indicated. Knowing how cheap Van's is, I'm not sure what that's all about.

Anyway, I didn't drill any weight out of the counterweights because that's to be done after painting. But everything else is done.

Almost warm enough to drill some rear window holes, which at the moment is holding everything up. C'mon, summer!
