Notice the postion of my thumb. A word of advice: DON"T hold your canrd like this when trying to drop it into position!!!! I learned the hard way as I got a nasty pinch! Otherwise, reinstalling the canard is actually fairly easy. One MUST be meticulous though in reconnecting the myriad of wires and fittings. MOST important, however, is to insure you correctly reinstall the cnard bolts and check and recheck the elevator control linkage!
