Default RE: TT New Version Decathlon Build

Alright, had less build time this weekend than I would have liked. I figure I'm about half done.

Here is the mounting method for the tail braces. I think it's pretty slick, though I don't know if it's common or not. There is a 4mm hole drilled in the surface, and you insert a short brass tube. This way you can really tighten the screws, and the tube takes the compression load. Also gives more bearing area for the loads on the wires.

Second pic is the vert.stab. with the screw protruding waiting for the clevis on the other side.

The third picture is the center mounting point. The braces screw into the metal tailwheel strap. You can also see the included jam nuts on the wires. Oh, and you can also see the wires are chromed.

Last pic is the overall underside of the tail.
