Step 6
Drill through the hole into the stabilizer and tap for a
4-40 bolt. Install a 4-40 x 1/2" bolt to secure the tube
in the stabilizer.
Warning
: Use caution when drilling through
the stabilizer tube. Only drill through one wall
of the tube.
Step 7
Slide the assembly into the fuselage. Slide the
remaining stab half onto the tube and drill and tap
the location for the 4-40 retaining bolt. Install the bolt
to complete the procedure.
Hint
: When removing the stabilizer for storage,
remove only one bolt, leaving the tube secured
in the remaining stabilizer. Trying to install the
tube without the aid of an alignment guide can
be frustrating.
