With all major subassemblies completed, it was time to fit up all of the empennage to the tail cone. The basic intent is to ensure full range of motion of the tail surfaces without any binding, chafing or otherwise unintended contact. First picture below shows the fin (less the leading edge cuff installed) and rudder installed.
From the other direction...
Next view with the stabilator and anti-servo tab with the electric trim servo installed as well.
After installation of the empennage, it was observed that the stabilator/AST/trim motor assembly and rudder travel in all directions was free and clear. Onward and upward!
