Europa-List: Tailplane torque Tube Assembly

[Tony Renshaw <tonyrenshaw268@gmail.com>]

Gidday,
Regarding the components of the tailplane torque tube, have you considered 
dropping
the female fittings in boiling water first? Heat guns on female bits was
my first thought, before the water idea. Might be a dumb idea. If it works, 
re-assemble
with a light lubrication to allow easier adjustment on the torque tube
once approximately positioned.
