Horizontal Stabilizer

[Charlie Eubanks]

Hi all

I am ready to do the final assembly of the horizontal stabilizers of my
Rebel. I am concerned about eventual wear in the 3/8 Dia. hole of the hinge
brackets ST-25. To allow easy installation and remove of the elevator hinge
brackets. I am thinking of installing 1" dia. hole plugs in the aft corners
of the bottom skin of each stabilizer. This will provide wrench access to
check rotation of the AN-3 bolt and nut assembly. Does anyone see any thing
wrong with this, are maybe have a better way?

Since there has been some recent discussion about Horizontal
Stabilizers, I thought that I would ask a question about
making the horizontal stabilizer all one piece (rather than
in two pieces). It would clean up the aerodynamics a bit by
eliminating the support struts and the block by the tail
wheel spring. However I suspect that the internal tail cone
would have to be beefed up and the stabilizer spars would
have to be tied together.

Has it been done before? What is entailed?
