This is going to be a couple posts just so I can track my time properly across sections, but I got the servos installed for the controls. Luckily it wasn’t too terrible but it is a tight area. I then got the control column measurement tool cut and made so Read more
I got the Garmin servos in today. I just need to install them tomorrow and then I can finish the controls section as well. But the seat rails are finally fully installed. I found that I had actually bent some of the nutplates and broken some of the rivets. I Read more
