Brief Description:  Cable fairing; avionics access door; paint prep.

Today, I drilled the rudder cable exit fairings onto the aft fuselage. I had to measure pretty carefully to make sure the two lower rivet holes would have sufficient edge distance in the longeron.

I also spent some time trimming and filing the edges of the doubler plate/stiffener around the avionics access door hole, and drilled the nutplate attach holes for the eight #8 screws that will secure the door closed.

Finally, I removed the rudder cables, rudder pedal assembly, and elevator pushrods from the fuselage in preparation for painting the interior.
