The short strokes- the last 10%

Haven posted for a while but that doesn't mean it ain't been worked on. Here is just a little.


Stab removal/installation
best done with stab brackets already on stab with vertical an3s loose. STAB HORN should be installed and pushed past the aligning holes prior to all this for ease of stab to fuselage fit.Pin up cable wire to hold stab in position.
Jam a thin ( paint stir stick) behind bolts to push bolts into fuselage enough to capture with casillated nuts. Tlghten up these nuts and pull out wood. Then use thin special wrench to capture nut heads.

New shoes
