Riveted angles to the top rear of the stabilizer to locate the rear of the saddle. Drilled holes in the saddle and angles for rivets. Fabricated aluminum angle pieces to establish top limit of elevator travel. Set top limit and riveted the angles to the rear of the saddle according to drawing 6-S-4. Fit micarta pieces on the lower rear longeron according to drawing 6-S-4 to limit down elevator travel. Cut slits in the front of the saddle to allow the fiberglass to more closely with the shape of the fuselage where it has to be attached. Applied epoxy adhesive in the slit area and put the saddle back on with clecos. When the epoxy cures, the saddle shape will better conform to the shape it should be. It will need to have reinforcement of carbon fiber or glass fiber in the area of the epoxied slits for permanent fix.
