Preparing the Boom Tube

 

Using a string to mark the centerline of the top of the boom tube.

 

Marking and drilling the exit holes for the elevator and rudder cables.

 

 

The holes bent back and ready for the cables.

 

The edges of the sheet aluminum on the bulkheads are rolled over the 1 inch tubes with a hammer and a block of wood.

 

The boom tube after it's been primed and the control cables have been installed.
