First job today was to check the undercarriage bolts for tightness. Unfortunately two of the four bolts did not tighten so were removed for inspection and were found to have damaged threads. These will need to be replaced.

Our next job was to install the Aileron and Elevator trim servos.

First job is to cut two threaded rods one 85mm for the elevator and one 65mm for the aileron.

The clevis is added and secured with a split pin.

The servos need to be moved to mid position which can be done with the aid of a 12 volt battery. The white and grey leads can be connected to the battery in either polarity to move the servo in or out.

The servo is positioned in the recess and cleco’d in place so the control rods can be adjusted correctly.

Once adjustments are done the locking nuts are secured using Loctite 243.
