| Worked on the controls today. Installed the aileron cables, pulleys, and elevator push-pull tube. Doesn't really look like it from the photos, but there is a lot of work below! | |

These are the aileron cable pulleys |

Elevator push-pull tube |

Here is the aileron bellcrank that mounts on the top of the fuselage. I painted it white. |
 |
More of the controls. Notice the aileron cable attached to the middle of the black tube. |
 |
Here it is installed. (did you catch it? It is shown installed backwards! I'll have to disconnect the cables and spin it around. The tab should be facing front!) |

Looking from the bottom up. |

Things are really coming
together nicely. It was really nice to have all day to work on the
plane. I go back to work tomorrow morning so it will be a while until I
can work on it again.
All the controls are installed now. The rudder pedals are installed but I am waiting to order the dual brake option before I finish up the pedals. The next step is fitting the molded interior. I'm really looking forward to building the panel. I just may pick up some instruments at Oshkosh this year. I really want the Dynon EFIS but I just don't thin I can afford one. |
