I saw a looses screw on one the tail fairing today. When I tried to tighten it, it acted like it was crossed treaded. So I removed it and decided to run a tap down though it. I had purchased a 4mm tap just for this type of thing.
However as I was running the tap though, it snapped off. Nuts!!!! I ended up removing both tail fairing's so as to get the tap out of the nut plate. That done, I did a little inspection of the tail section and found that the cable for the elevator trim is about to break.
So has anyone out there done this before and not ended up committing suicide?

Batman had us replace this fine wire and "No we did not commit suicide but laying upside that long to respool the trim wheel is an unforgetable experience". Third time was a charm.
