Brief Description:  Empennage Fairing / Stab Tips

Continued to fit the Empennage fairing.
Drilled the mounting holes, trimmed to final size.
Fitted the horiznal stab and elevator tips, drilled mounting holes.

I am thinking... OH BOY!!! IDEA!!!
As I get all the fairings in place, I am noticing that being able to see the elevator control horn connection point (Bolt) is basically impossible during a preflight inspection. As pictured in Photo #2, I may cut out the circle, install a mounting flange inside with nutplates, and install a clear circular plexiglass inspection panel. Then during each preflight I can easily look at the elevator control horn and connection points. or I could replace the entire aluminum inspection plate with plexiglass.
I am also thinking of doing the same thing on the main wing inpection plate at the aileron bellcrank position.

2 hours later...

I had to give my idea a try... nothing to loose...
Photo #3 is the idea above realized. It turned out exactly as I imagined. Perfect visual access to the elevator control arm and attachments.
