I didn’t like how the middle of the ELT antenna could flop around, so I adhered a zip-tie base to the forward spar of the horizontal stabilizer and anchored the antenna there.
With the vertical stabilizer out of the way, it was easy to rivet on the rudder cable fairings. After installing the lower rivets, I slid the plastic tube back in place and then installed the upper rivets.
The upper fairing on the rudder was about 1/4″ too short and didn’t go all the way back to the trailing edge. I mixed up some epoxy/flox and extended the fairing.
The control surfaces will have to come off for paint (and will likely have to come off at other times), so I decided to add a connector to the trim cable so that I don’t have to fish the cable back out of the elevator each time.
