Enter subhead content here Sep 7, 2019 - After getting full rudder deflection, needed to doing
some extra clearance trimming. Sep 7, 2019 - Plenty of clearance now. Sep 7, 2019 - Sample of edge trim material. Sep 9, 2019 - Drilled out rivets where rudder stops attach. Sep 10, 2019 - Straighten nose wheel and verified rudder pedals even
in anticipation of attaching rudder cables. Sep 10, 2019 - Made a spacer bar of 369 mm to guarantee rudder
straight. (Your mileage may vary. . . ) Sep 10, 2019 - Stop making positive contact with rudder horn. This will eventually be attached with A5 rivets. Sep 12, 2019 - Checking the points where the saddle contacts the
elevator. Filing where necessary to get as flat as possible. Sep 12, 2019 - The saddle acts as the upper elevator stop. Max
upper deflection is 30-32 degrees. Sep 12, 2019 - September 12, 11:45 am, and it's 92 degrees in the hanger. Sep 13, 2019 - A short piece of L-angle is used. I put a small crimp in to create a bend to fit the curve of the saddle. The L-angle now inserted into its proper location inside the saddle to act as reinforcement. Sep 13, 2019 - The L-angle will have to be bend upward to not conflict
with the elevator horn. Sep 16, 2019 - Both reinforcing L-angles not attached to the business
end of the saddle. Sep 16, 2019 - The L-angle bent up to avoid contact with the cable horn. Max bend for now and still have room for rivets. Can bent further afterward. Sep 16, 2019 - Potential position for hold-down tabs. Sep 18, 2019 - Taped the hold-down tabs in the approximate locations. Bent the tabs slightly so they will sit flat on the horizontal stabilizer. Sep 18, 2019 - These are the initial location marks as the tabs sat. Sep 18, 2019 - After marking the elevator hinge line, tabs adjusted
and re-marked as shown by red lines. Sep 18, 2019 - Final tabs will be trimmed smaller. Circles indicate intended rivet locations. Sep 20, 2019 - The reduced size tabs give room for a reinforcing L-angle
along the centerline (small sample shown). Sep 21, 2019 - The saddle hold-down tabs drilled in place. Sep 21, 2019 - Saddle hold-down tabs riveted in place, and all
the messy lines cleaned up. Sep 21, 2019 - Added L-angle along centerline to increase support
in this area. Sep 24, 2019 - The saddle drilled through into the tabs, creating the center points for the nutplates. Sep 24, 2019 - Nutplates riveted in place. I learned when dealing with nutplates to enlarge the entrance hole beyond the screw size. Sep 24, 2019 - The saddle attached with 10-32 screws. Enter content here
