May 31, 2021 4.8 10-12 thru 10-14: Top skins and aft deck Category: 10: Tail Cone
A very productive Memorial Day. Got the top skins cleco'd in place and match drilled the upper stiffeners. I opted to leave the vinyl on the forward top skin F-1074 since it is going to be quite a while before it is actually needed again. Try to keep it from getting too scratched while in storage.

Fabricated the horizontal stab attachment bar support angle and the elevator up stop angle. Match drilled the aft deck to the longerons, making sure to check that it was all still level. Clamped the support angle and up stop and match drilled all of it in place.

Want much to do on 10-14 since my shoulder harness anchors are back ordered. I did final drill the holes for the static ports and upsized them to accommodate the Cleaveland Tools static ports that I bought.

Then it was time to disassemble everything and get ready for priming including quite a bit of deburring.

Spent at least an hour cleaning up the shop after a long weekend.

Noticed during disassembly that I had a few holes misaligned when I drilled through the longeron and into the bulkhead tabs. Ended up with double holes in three separate bulkheads. After sleeping on it I decided to just order new ones. While I'm at it I ordered an AHRS tray and the yaw servo mount. The yaw servo bracket is unjustifiably expensive yet still significantly less than the comparable part from Garmin.

Purchases: Van's: replacement bulkheads 1007-L, 1007-R & 1008-R, AHRS bracket, Yaw servo bracket.
