    The vertical fin for the J-3/Sport Trainer won't work on a Wagabond. I have several of them Thanks for the reply.

    I need photos of an install of a PA17 elevator where they bolt together in the rear. I bought a project and it is already covered with all the cables lying in the rear of the fuselage but I don't have any idea how the cables connect to the elevators. HELP please. I can see there is somekind of spacer or something back there because the two elevators don't touch with a gap of about 1/2". I'm totally lost how anything hooks up in the tail section including where the rudder cable exit the fuselage.

    The SWPC has a drawing CD for the Vagabond that will answer your questions.

    Taildragger,

    I sent you a PM. I have lots of photos as I re-assembled my Vag a year ago and took notes of cable routing etc.
