Pretty easy. Only a few bolts, though the VS has to come off first and some of the bolts are a bit tricky to get a wrench on the nuts. Bring forceps and a few options for holding the nuts (wrenches/sockets).
Great time to double check your edge distances especially on the top longerons. This is a common place to find build errors. Many are flying around unaware.
Bring a sharpie and mark the shims under the HS Spar so you can put them back in the same side and orientation.
Let's see:
- #2 phillips
- 3/8" wrench x 2
- 3/8" ratcheting box end
- 3/8" 1/4 drive socket and ratchet (no extension)
- 7/16" short combo wrench
- 7/16" 1/4 drive socket
- pair of side cutters! (no telling what the tail light is going to be.)
- something to wrap the elevator pushrod with to cushion it on the bulkhead and some long tie wraps to hold it in place.
I think we pretty much walk off with the whole assembly in 40min.
