Hi Graeme
Another point of some importance for builders to remember is that the tailplane
torque tube is chrome plated 4130.
Be careful not to damage the plating or distort the tube. Wasnt it precision
ground
to size?

an absolute must to keep this area rigid; regardless of having a solid dolly to
hold the fuselage at about 5 locations. Over the several years of construction
the tailplane shaft has always been easy to move - no slop, no friction.
