Worked on the aileron trim servo install, even though it was cold and rainy today at the hangar.

Also started work on the rear throttle quadrant now that I have the correct plate I had to order from the rear throttle kit.

Installed and checking the pushrod alignment before riveting it in.

Worked on the fuselage and rudder pedals today. One item we’ve been delaying on is cutting the avionics access hatch.

Here’s Dad smoothing out or cut of the hatch. This will help access the instruments from the front cargo hatch.

More work on the rudder pedals. For whatever reason, I have two different color pedal assemblies, as you can see the left assembly is a greyish color, while the rest is white.

Started working on installing the pushrods and controls. Here is the control column and front control stick installed. This won’t be a final install as I still have to finish priming the fuse and then painting the interior color.
