Brief Description:  continued finishing and removal of emp assembly

Properly disassembled the empennage parts from the fuselage first by removing the control surfaces and then the stabs - with great difficulty in reaching the bolts and nuts.

The remaining attachment nuts and bolts on the empennage seat were final safetied and all removed hardware was cleaned and checked and paired, some washers and buts were replaced.
The seat and attachment parts were cleaned of all the drillings and shavings that were trapped in the fixtures, the holes were deburred and all bare metal was re-primed with rattle-can primer.

Put the removed stab on a seperate workbench and got stuck into finishinig it to ready for paint first, completed both left and right tips and primed then turned over and added some more filler and got the bottoms cleaned and ready for final prime coat. Ready for paint, next is the vert stab.

Finalized the tail light installation and masked up with a cover for protection during the rest of the work and painting.
Also went out for supplies to complete the finishing.
