Good Evening,
Great news on the building front for me, I have been able to get some heads down time and have completed the riveting of the skin on the empennage kit and am on the final steps to assemble it together and put it into storage so I can make room for the wing kit.
The question I Have is on Page 11-02 I am attaching the V-Stab to the tail cone with 12 bolts (4 in front, 8 in back).
Is there going to be any point in the future where I am taking these off as part of the build? I ask because I was planning on using Loctite on the threads, but if I am taking it on and off, I want to wait until the last time I have to do that.
Also, if I am completely off base in using Loctite I would like to know that too.
Lastly, should I go ahead and torque them to their specified torque now, or again, is this something that should be done later.
thanks,
Adam
