| Step 1: Cleco the
HS-1014 and HS-1015 Long and Short Stringers together making two
stringer assemblies as shown in Figure 1. With #30 drill final-drill the
five outboard holes on each of the stringers witch are common to both
stringers. Leave the eight inboard holes alone for now. Insert the two
stringers assemblies into the stabilizer by pulling back the skins (not
shown in the figure) and dropping them into the notches in the inspar
ribs. This will require lifting the entire assembly out of the cradles
slightly . Cleco the skins to all the ribs and stringers. 12/10/08 |
