Brief Description: Mounting the vertical stabilizer - 03
Mounting the vertical stabilizer continued. It must be vertical so part of the process is to ensure it is There are two measurements required for the VS. The fore and aft measurement just mentioned and then left and right. Measuring from the VS tip to the edge of each side of the HS I moved the VS until it was square. straight. I took a qucik shot before drilling the F-781. After drilling the new F-781 to size (bolts and rivets) and deburring and priming it was time to actually mount the VS.
The last task was to drill the F-712D stop. Image two and three so the results. Notice the VS in image three is set slightly away from the F-712D. This is the correct installation when there is an offset to the left based on the F-781 plate. A small washer is to be installed here.
