Brief Description:  New New HS Installation

Placed the new - new HS on the aft deck of the fuse, locating the center of the rear spar on the center point of the aft deck where the 3/16" drill bit is placed to provide the needed clearance to the aft deck. Leveled the HS side to side and clamped the rear spar to the attach bars. Matched drilled using the existing holes in the attach bars, starting with a #40, then #40, finishing with #19. Inserted AN3 bolts to secure the HS in place.

Decided to remove the rear bulkhead of the fuse to enable easier access to the #19 holes for match drilling the forward spar of the HS to the aft deck of the fuse. Why I did not do this on my first attempt, don’t know, but it certainly seems like the only way this is going to work.
