Brief Description:  Horizontal Tail Mounts, Rudder Cable Fairing

Added the horizontal tail (HT) attachment brackets. There are 4 of them: left/right and fore/aft. These are some pretty hefty chunks of aluminum that attach through the skin into the horizontal tail frame and will eventually hold the horizontal tail (and elevator) in place with bolts.

I also added the right side rudder cable outlet fairing which adds streamlining and some protection to where the rudder cables exit the fuselage to connect the the rudder control horn once it's attached. The opening in the side of the fuselage also has a nylon fairlead which guides the control cable through the center of the exit hole to keep it from rubbing against any metal.
