Empennage

Aft Fuselage (2.5 hrs )

Determined needed about 4" more of C1037 and C1036 wires toward front...so entire W00057 Aft Fuse Harness had to have tie wraps removed, re-adjusted position about 5 inches, and re-installed.   Sect 10-25 doesn't provide length of C409P connector/hharness portion at rear.  But while working on Aft Deck installation, determined I had excess length at rear (Sect 10-27 Fig 3).  Other antenna and harness directions clearly show critical length of free ends on installation pages.  So would've been helpful on 10-25 !   Required about 1 hr to re-do.
C1036 & 37 were 4 inches short of bulkhead
Corrected...taped to front of bulkhead
Sect 10-27 cont'd with dimpling and fit up of Aft Deck pieces.  Discovered missed dimpling across top of F0140C bulkhead - but fortunately easily done w/ Main Squeezer (whew).  Re-primed the 8 holes.  Cleco'd and Final Drilled all holes.  I'll prime after Match Drilling the 2 angle reinforcements.
fit is good !
ready to match drill 2 angles
