Drilled the top right side of tail brace strut

Tail brace struts and assembly

I drilled top hole on the right side of the aluminum tubing to secure the vertical stabilizer on the tail section. I ground corner off the fit at an angle to round out the tubing and allow it to rotate down and connect with the bracket on the horizontal stabilizer. Remember to place the tube into position by compressing it slightly to fit inside the bracket and drill the hole using the bracket as a pilot first from one side and then the other.
