Drilled elevators for main bearing: 2.5 hours

  • The elevator horns had to be re-drilled for the main bearing bolt due to the new horizontal stabilizer. I had the old holes in the elevator horns welded closed and ground flat.
  • I made a drill bushing with 2 nesting pieces of tubing
  • I adjusted rod end bearings on both elevators for correct fit
  • The holes were drilled using the bearing as a guide then enlarged and reamed to final size
