Just opened up the stab that was still on the plane. This one was just started to show signs of play. The first pic gives a view of the 2nd and 3rd ribs in the stab. You can see how well I got epoxy at the end of the large rod. You can also see that while the 3rd rib had good factory glue to the skin, the 2nd did not.

The second pic shows where the front rod meets the 2nd rib (which also had good expoxy contact that can not be seen due to angle). You can see the stress cracks. You can also see where the skin is separating from the first rib, and where the factory cut through the 2nd rib.
