Thanks for the tip. I've been dreading having to deal with those cables again. This sounds like a real time saving idea. I'll be doing this next month during my annual.

RV-list,
We performed the tail plate SB this week. We have one observation on a tip that may make the process easier. Forgive me if this was mentioned before & I just didn't see or understand the posting at the time.
The last thing we wanted to do is tear into the nearly fully assembled plane to perform this SB. But seeing that in my mind there was no option we started the disassembly. Instead of crawling in the tail and disconnecting the elevator trim cables, then removing the stabilizer/elevator from the airplane, we simply turned the assembly upside down, left the cables connected. It took about 4 hours to get to the point where we could start installing the stiffeners. Total time start to finish was ~12 hours. We also found a new use for the Port-A-Cool.
At this point we now have a completed plane with an SJ cowl & custom airbox. We have completed the high speed taxi & brake test. Now we are just waiting on insurance coverage and for the plane to paint itself…
