I am in the process of final assembly of my 601XL.  This morning, I installed the horizontal stabilizer.  I have all four bolts in place and the nuts on the two rear bolts.  The two forward bolts go through the vertical mounting angles on the stab.  The inboard leg of that angle blocks direct access to the bolt ends where the nuts must go.  The hole between the fuselage skin and the mounting bracket is too small to get access to the nut. Any helpful hints on getting those nuts installed?

Hi Jay



I mounted my stab bolts from the inside, I put them in with a socket and a long extension, which is slender enough to slip between the stab and fuselage sides from the opposite side. Then put the washer and nut on the outside.  This way I was able to get the bolt in and well as monitor the nut with a easy visual inspection.  I usually get the wife to help me so there are two sets of eyes.

use a magnetic pen and a drop of RTV to hold the bolt.  I preferred the nut out ward scen so that I can monitor on inspection.

I  also installed the bolts with the heads on the inside so the nuts  

could be installed on the outside. It makes it easier to torque and  

inspect the nuts. I did the same thing with the rear wing bolts.
