Posted: Tue Feb 03, 2009 9:00 am Post subject: Attach the Tail Feathers?

This morning I woke up  early and finished the tailcone (Section 10).

  

 Now I'm waiting for the  QB fuse to arrive in April!!!  Apparently the facility in the Philippines  was relocated and that has greatly increased the lead times from 3 months to at  least 5+ months.

  

 So I'm looking for  something to do.  I wasn't planning on completing section 11 until after  the tailcone is attached.  But given my scenario, I'm temped to go ahead  and press on with Section 11 and just leave the Elevators and Rudder off the  plane.  (I'll need the depth in the garage later)

  

 Anyone have any thoughts  on completing section 11?  I'm guessing it'll be much easier to attach the  tailcone to the QB fuse without the hassle of the tail  feathers.

  

 Thanks,

 Phil

I would start the section and get everything done  you can.  There are some steps you would wait until final assembly for like  installing the trim cables or fairings and this is obvious.

I would do Section 11 for sure and probably start on much of Section 12.  You then take everything apart and hang them from the ceiling or on the walls until you start the final assembly.

Don't forget to put some tie wire/coat hangar/string thru the hole where 

the trim cables run.  It will save you 45 minutes (at least) when trying 

to install the tail feathers.  (don't ask me how I know  )
