Brief Description:  

Took the day off work today, and with the help of my friend Steve Ashby, and with consultation with Brad Simmons, mounted the horizontal stabilizer. Day started with leveling fuselage, then leveling wings. Next came dry fitting the HS and setting up cradle. When set up, leveled and squared, we noticed a gap of about 1/8 inch between the left side of the factory installed HS saddle and the HS. After consulting with Brad over the phone, at his suggestion I decided to do a flox release rather than trying to fill the gap with Hysol. Got that done late in the morning, and by late afternoon it was cured. So I popped off the HS, and with help from my wife, Cathy, I re-mounted the HS with a Hysol-flox mix, re-leveled, verified incidence, and yet again checked all measurements.
