- Riveted the connector plate to the vertical stabilizer front spar. All went well except for one rivet which had to be redone.
- I had a metal fabrication shop weld the bearing bolt hole on the elevators closed so they could be re-drilled to the new horizontal stabilizer. (More detail on this when I fit the elevators.)
- To get ready to fit the flaps I need to be able to run the flap actuator up and down so I went ahead and ran the flap wires.
- I twisted the wires using a hand drill after watching the Steinair.com video. It worked great. I also crimped on the female molex pins (also reviewed Steinair's video for that).
