Vertical Stabiliser

Aircraft: Bushcat 19-2226
Task Date: 01/03/2025
Builder: Malcolm Hardy & Thomas Hardy
Category: Empennage
Section: 17
Hours: 6 hrs
Task:

Attach tension cable and sail to stabiliser.
Lace trailing edge and bottom edge of the sail.
Tension string along both edges.

Had to undo the trailing edge lacing to enable the tension cables to be passed through the cut outs in the sail.
It took time to learn the technique of tensioning the lacing.

The build video by Budumjemy Samalot helped a lot.
