Brief Description: Riveted trim Tab and trimed Stabilator tips
Completed the trim tab assembly and trimed the Stabilator plastic tips. I trimed the tips with a small X-acto blade saw. This was fast and worked fine. On assembly of the Trim Tab I noticed that the actuator horn screws are not long enougth to extend all the way through the nut plate.The screws are at least on grip length to short. I think this is a safety issue. Material stackup: horn (.063)+spacer(.032)+skin(.016)+rib(.020)+nutplate(.25)=.381 supplied screw: AN526-832R6 = 6/16 = .375 long or one grip length to short.
