Brief Description:  More tail work / misc

Misc small tasks.

Went camping the past few days so no activity.

Changed dessicant in my engine dehydrator system

Clamped, drilled, cleco'd, and riveted the nylon upper elevator stop.

Fished the left rudder cable back thru the fuselage. Initial time I installed it the elevator cables got wrapped around it so I had to push it thru the fuselage hole to re-run.

Once the rudder cable was properly installed, I noticed that the elevator cables were twisted together. Twice. Fortunately didn't have to fish these out. Just disconnected at the bellcrank and un twisted.

I got to thinking about it after riveting the upper elevator stop in place, so I added a small section of aluminum skin under it. Riveted in place.

Zenith suggested "stretching" the upper fin L angle to get it to match the curve of the upper horizontal stab. They suggested using a hammer to stretch it using a vise for support. Not thrilled with the result; I may end up notching it and bending that way. We'll see.

Lasting, reinstalled the horizontal stabilizer added side gussets in preparation for final riveting/bolting.
