1: The stabilator cables (D & F) were routed aft using the previously set strings, then they were secured to the stabilator horns. 2: The routed cables were connected to the cables already in the fuselage by using the turnbuckles called out. 3: A weight was placed on the stabilator. 4: The cables were tightened enough to remove slack. 5: The weight from the stabilator was removed. 6: Our tow bar was used to hold the control sticks at a 10" distance from the panel base, then the turnbuckles were tightened until we ended up with around 40lbs of tension on each of the cables. 7: The tow bar was removed and the control sticks were moved to confirm the stabilator could move all the way through its travel and that the stops were reached.
