Have been working on the horizontal stab and elevator end caps and the bearings. End caps are coming along getting Hysol'd on and now the shaping process begins. Also started working the bearings for the elevator on the stab. Kind of the standard pics of the bearing being worked while chucked up into a drill press. Had them set up so that they were oversized to press in after being in the freezer overnight. I used the Loctite 680 bearing retention fluid as called out in the instructions. (If you haven't done this step yet - be ready - that stuff sets up really fast and is really strong. If you think you have alot of time think again.) After learning on the first one, I pressed the rest of the bearings halfway in, then added the Loctite and finished the press. That bearing will never spin with that Loctite in there.
