(page 08-02) Anti-servo tabs....
...No stabilator would be complete without one, or two in this case. My worries about the holes drilled in the skins of the anti-servo tabs with the supplied drill guides appear to be unfounded. When the piano hinges were clecoed to the stabilator skins and spars, the drilled holes appeared, for the most part, to line up. When the clecos were removed to allow the rivet to be inserted, a few rivets wouldn't go, requiring the #30 bit to be run through the holes. Overall, I felt good about this operation. The holes in the drill guides did enlarge with use, however. They've got to be used in another operation later, so I'm still a bit concerned. The drill guides absolutely should have been made of steel rather than aluminum.
