the last two weeks tweaking the clecoing of the fuselage top (and other nif
ty simple tricks which I can share) to ensure I had nearly zero friction in t
he stab torque tube bearings. It is so smooth that now I am able to feel ver
tical play when I move the stab tip vertically. The play, at the TP11 bearin
g, is in the order of 0.004 to 0.005 inches. Doesn't sound like much but at t
he tip of the stab is quite noticeable. This play doesn't make me happy (new
plane, sloppy already) but before I start tearing things apart (which I am b
ecoming quite adept at this point) I need to know:
