Tail / Rudder Stops / RDAC Mount |

|
Spent some time re-aligning vertical stab with fuselage; just wanted to make double sure everything was ready. Also wanted to ensure that the aft spar of the vertical stab was straight. It is. Started to drill the 1/4" mounting holes thru the fwd spar of the horiz stab, thru the fwd vert stab spar as well. Since I didn't have threaded bits to go in my 90 deg drill adapter, I borrowed a 1/4 collet grinder from a neighbor (air driven). This did not work well, so I stopped until I could get the drill bits I needed. Drilled-out 4 domed rivets on the rudder stop plates, countersunk the holes, and replaced with countersunk rivets. 3 on right side, 1 on left. Researched Enigma RDAC location on other builder websites. Marked, measured, drilled, deburred, and attached RDAC to the firewall. Aside from some adel clamps, this finalizes all of the firewall-mounted accessories. |
