Continuing the First Step: Clean & Inventory!

To the tail end....
I've removed the inspection plates for the elevator and stabilizer assembly.

Here is the bottom panel removed. It has a rather heavy antenna mounted on it. I believe it is for the old ADF unit, but I stand to be corrected. If it doesn't work... I'll relieve the tail of this weight!


Inside & outside

Peering inside the removed bottom panel gives a good view of the stablilizer trim system. I've sprayed it down with a penetrant to free it. No visible signs of corrosion anywhere... hopefully further inspection will confirm this.

Looks like some "gerbils" built a nest in the back.... Time to get the new shopvac out!
