Top stringer fitted

Top rear stringer was cut, trimmed, and fitted. The back end was carefully filed so that it matched the profile of the tail fin tubing.  Two holes were drilled in stringer for the two center spigots that are welded to the frame.  The center spigots were also cut shorter to fit the shape of the stringer. Stringer was cleco'd to the tail fin, and will be epoxied in place later. (EJB, MHC)   Hours: 2

Installed Horizontal Stabilizer Front Attach Brack

The Horizontal Stabilizer front attach bracket (F-1020) was installed.  The AN4-12A bolt indicated in the manual was replaced with a AN4-13A for a correct fit, The AN3-12A bolt fit perfectly.  The Part originally had holes drilled on both sides which made it difficult to drill correctly.  Ed filled in one side of the holes with a TIG weld.  This allowed for a nice tight bolt fit.
