Tinkering - 2 hours



Took an easy evening. Been very busy at work and the motivation to get out in the garage was low. I cut the hole in the front HS spar for the electric trim cable. I then scratched my head on where to put the hole in the rear HS spar. A quick check on the forums notes that the cable for the electric trim routes up and over the rear HS spar....Moving on. 


I decided to countersink the Vertical Stabilizer spar (Where it meets the fuselage) and the Horizontal Stabilizer (Center portion where it meets the HS-710/714). I cut a small piece of aluminium sheet and drilled a #40 & #30 hole and dimpled them. I used this little homemade template as a guide to check countersink depth to ensure that both parts nest well.

 It took me a while to slowly get the countersink depth down to where it needs to be. I can see where folks recommend extra countersink cages so once you have one set....you leave it as-is.
