Brief Description:  Tail wiring, etc

Didn't get much done today due to one thing or another. Riveted the elevator servo mounts to the cover plate and fitted the servo. Worked out how much wire was needed to get from the horizontal stabilizer into the elevator with some extra and ran the wire down to the aft baggage bay. I actually ran the wire through some plastic tube at each cable tie mount to avoid tying onto the cable isself. I think this will help prefent chaffing since the wire is quite small and the insulation quite thin.

I then also measured the wire for the tail strobe (but don't have wire for the light itself yet). I fitted the 3-pin 'molex'-type connector to the forward end and then cable tied the remainder in place with a good length hanging out back for when I get around to doing the rudder bottom.

With those two wires run, I re-fitted and torqued the vertical stabilizer. Then I riveted the forward right-side skin to the longeron where I had noticed yesterday I had forgotton to do it previously. Finally, I cleco'd the top skin back in place, primarily to keep it out of the way. I'm not really sure what to do next; maybe I'll take a look at the canopy fitting, but that will be quite a major exercise what with the Tom Clark fastback and all...
