Current status 1/9/09 – canard lift tabs and pins in longerons have been floxed in place. I re-drilled and set up pins in F-28 and attach tabs at a slight upward angle (< 5*) to help removal.  Else installation per plans

Canard and lift tabs clamped against flox pads to create flat mating surface. 

 

I had duct-tape masked around fuselage sides and F22, and laid a bead of flox along the edges to create a seam matching the canard, imperfections & all.  This helped preserve the correct incidence angle also.

CNL bushings floxed in place.  See Ch 13.   I  trimmed to correct length then floxed, figuring it would be easier and less risky than grinding in place with the softer hardpoints nearby.
