Hi! Cleve.
Strongly recommend adusting facility otherwise it will all trail on the
floor of the fuselage.Also sufficiently aft to be behind the luggage bay for
access through the "D" Panel.
It's awkward enough to do the mass balance turnbuckles through the 5"
inspection hole without another set also.

Is there a reason we have to put the turnbuckles or any rudder pedal
adjustment at the very aft of the plane ?  Can we put the turnbuckles inside
the tunnel or near the fuel inspection ports?  Or put opposing ports in the
tunnel in the baggage area?  Haven't installed the gear completely yet so
excuse my naivety.
