I hadn’t thought about it yet, but I suspect you are correct that the tail cone plastic should fit between the bulkhead and the skin on the side and bottom. That seems logical looking at it and base on your comments about the hole location.
@@s-21project92That’s cheap. Look at the DMC tool for milspec round connector contacts, RS-232 contacts, etc. I ended up buying the cheap tool from SteinAir, but that tool was a little too cheap for me so I bought the JRready tool that is a clone of the DMC. Reviews I read said it performed almost as well as the DMC, but is less than half the cost. I am sure it isn’t nearly as durable as the DMC, but I am only building one airplane, not doing production work.
@LTVoyager The bottom corners of the plastic closeout would probably fit just fine in the gap. The Aerosport closeout is a bit thick in the corners and would definitely need to be sanded down. Easy to do but didn’t occur to me until after I had drilled. But we made it work.
Thanks Tony. Mine was restricting the elevator too and I did not notice it as I did the elevator rigging with the cone off. So good find. Thank you.
Get the MSD crimper (MSD 35051) and shorten the (too long) plug wires. Super satisfying, lol.
Great stuff T’n T, getting close 🤞
That’s a spendy little tool!
