Pic 1 shows that I now have the hangar in position and I’m floxing it in place. I had to install the elevator pins. Wow are they tight and tricky to install. I’ll be doing that job as infrequently as possible. It was necessary to ensure the hangars were in the right spots and I set them up with full up elevator travel which worked out.

Pic 2 shows after cure that its all tidy again. Those hangars are really overkill in the attachment area. Boy are they strong once floxed in place.

The elevator pins are such a pain that I use long 3/16″ drill bits for temporary install checking as you see in pic 3.

Note that the offset part of the fitting is right in the fuselage side as it should be. It wasn’t 4 days ago… Also note that the counter weight is clear of the fuselage side. I moved the fitting inboard about 0.2″ from plans. I just wanted more clearance so there is no chance of these weights hitting the sides. Plans position has it VERY close.

Well that hurt, but its done now so we move on. Good.
