I am ready to start my empennage attatch and I have been looking over plans and posts and I have a few questions,
From what I understand, the tailcone needs to be free of the empennage in order to (easily) join to the front fuselage. Is that correct?
It seems to me that removal of the empennage from the tailcone would be much easier if the elevator trim control system were yet to be done (those elevator control cables) . Is it possible to install the elevator trim cables AFTER the fuselage and tailcone are joined ? Did any of you do that ? Or is it not that difficult removing the empennage with the trim system already installed? I know that the routing of those cables is not the easiest thing on this plane. Will elevator trim cable installation be made MORE DIFFICULT if I delay installation until after fuselage attatch ? Or is it 6 of one 1/2 dozen of other ?
All opinions, concerns, and experience welcomed,
Ace
