Horizontal Stab strut Attach ??

[southwind32]

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see any instructions in the plans of what to do for access in the Horiz Stab where the struts attach. What did you do?
Thanks

I believe its a SS7 you are working on? Page 26 of the fabric covering chapter.

The Fabric Covering section for the horizontal stab of the build manual gives dimensions of a thin aluminum reinforcing plate that you make to glue on the inside of the fabric around the cutout for the strut attach area. I made the plates and installed them, but when I cut the fabric out of the middle I only cut about half of the plate opening. I thought the full cutout was way bigger than necessary. My smaller cutout has been satisfactory. I left it open. Most guys make a thin cover plate held on by small screws, but I just left mine open, sort of as a drain.
