Empennage

Aft Fuselage (3 hrs )

Sect 10-2 at Steps 2-6: separating J-Stiffeners, Battery Angles, etc.  Lots of edge deburring...  Then Sect 10-3 at Steps 1-3:  repeat for more J-Stiffeners, Longerons, Bulkhead Doublers.   Those Longerons are relatively thick, so edge deburring takes more time...and of course they're LONG, too.
No pics...nothing special yet.

Empennage

Elevator (1.5 hr )

Elevators are done !  (at least all of Sect 9 build)   Finished today the Molex connectors (geesh, these are tiny) for the Trim Servo.   Installed into Elevator following Steps 1-5 in Sect 9-25.   Powered up via 9 volt battery - to the white leads.  Reverse is simple switching  - and +  from battery.


didn't bother to switch ends for LH and RH for picture
