Brief Description: Attached Horiz. & Vert. Stab. to Tail Cone
Mounted the horiz. stab. to the tail cone. Made sure alignment was still correct (took minor adjustment prior to tightening bolts). Mounted vert. stab. to tail cone, drilling mounting holes. Removed, deburred, and re-attached vert. stab. Obtained aluminum anti-seize from auto parts store for use on Vertical Stabilizer Front Spar and VS-1016 Vertical Stabilizer Front Spar Attach Bracket, and bolted together. Re-installed elevators. Had difficulty inserting the bolt through both elevator horns and the elevator center bearing with all spacing washers. Removed bolt and ground a taper on the end to make insertion easier, while still maintaining >3 threads beyond the nut when properly torqued.
