(10-4 steps 1 & 2):
As we were tearing down the remaining pieces of the tailcone the
other day I noticed the #12 holes we drilled in the horizontal
stabilizer attachment angle… they bugged me. They seemed
way to close to the edge of the angle. I set it aside… but
it kept bugging me. Well, since I had another piece of angle I
decided to go ahead and cut another one. I cut this one about
1/4" longer thinking I'd sand the edges down to a perfect fit. I
took my time making sure to get all the holes perfectly positioned...
first I match drilled the frame holes using the existing angle to get
the height just right. Once those holes were drilled and the
angle was clecoed to the frame, I clecoed the assembly to the
longerons, the aft deck, and the F-1010B spacer that goes between the
angle and the aft deck. I then used a couple of #30 drill bits to
line up the holes in the aft deck and spacer and then clamped these to
the angle. Next I match drilled the four #30 holes of the aft
deck into the angle.
