    Default Extra tabs in tail

    Does anyone know what these tabs are for? I’d like to use one as a ground because it’s close to my OAT.

    I think they are just there to bond that plywood too. They probably have bins of those tabs with holes already in it. I'm sure you're safe to use it

    Make sure you don't use a tab that is needed to secure the tail access covers.

    Is the hole for running safety wire thru to help hold the plywood? Or is that a thing of the past?

    Just my 2 cents here. Might mean nothing and thats ok but with all the posts about noisy radios around here maybe don't use the air-frame as a ground and run everything to a ground buss up front. I sure like radios that are crystal clear.
