Brief Description: HS Clearance Hole for Trim Cable
I was ready to clean and prime the HS parts, but first I thought I'd check the drawing and plan to make sure I hadn't missed anything. Then I saw this drawing call out to drill a 5/8 in hole for the manual trim cable to run through. Drilling it is not mentioned in the plan. I checked Van's Air force and found a thread where folks discussed this and concluded to drill it now before riveting. So I did. I used the step down drill bit. Pretty Cool. The hole is in the web of the left front spar of the horizontal stabilizer. Left side only and only for manual trim, not electric trim
