I started off by putting some corrosion protector on the places where the skins would be making contact. While I was waiting for this to dry I went ahead and drilled a pilot hole in the horn where the stabiliser will attach.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6128\/5995529327_62963515cb_z.jpg?resize=480%2C640\" class=\"aligncenter\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" \/><br \/>\nFor safety, the trim tab hinge pin needs to be safety wired so that it cannot fall out. This was a whole new thing to me, I thought you could just twist some wire but it turns out there is a tool specially for this purpose. I&#8217;ll post a picture of it some time, but I had to watch some youTube videos to learn how to use it. It took me a couple of tries but I finally got something I think will work. Anyway, first I had to chop a bit of the hinge pin off to make room for the safety wire hole and then I used a 1\/6 inch bit to drill two holes, one in each end.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6018\/5995536507_c7b5060550_z.jpg?resize=640%2C480\" class=\"aligncenter\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><br \/>\nAnd here is one end wired.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6017\/5996095814_caafef0aa3_z.jpg?resize=640%2C480\" class=\"aligncenter\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><br \/>\nIn preparation for putting the trim tab servo inside the skeleton I attached the servo rod to the actuator using the proper pins and washers.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6012\/5996098878_c6716795a3_z.jpg?resize=640%2C480\" class=\"aligncenter\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><br \/>\nI then started to add the skins back onto the spar and ribs<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6016\/5996102020_83f5b13d0f_z.jpg?resize=640%2C480\" class=\"aligncenter\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><br \/>\nBut before I could bend over the nose skin I had to bring the servo wire out through the spar holes and the grommet in the rib so it wouldn&#8217;t all be inside the skin.
