In this picture you will see the right side stabilizer skins are mostly trimmed and the edge of the hockey stick is aligned with the centerline. Because of how photobucket displays on sonexbuilders you may need to click the picture to see the whole thing. I took pains to align the lens with the centerline.

Can't go wrong with cheese - it is culinary duct tape.

So now I have to figure out how to drill these holes. Seems tricky.

Most of you have read about my tail mount issue. Waiex 197 had the same issue. We think it may be due to the new bend in the hockey sticks. For those of you reading this yeas from now you can find the issue here:
viewtopic.php?f=42&t=1198

So I have decided to replace the angle under the aft shear web with one that has a bigger flange. First step: ctrl-Z on the WIX-F22-06 angle.
