Flaps Handle

Installed this yesterday. Nothing much of interest to report. I decided not to connect the rods so they wouldn’t get in the way when I work on the wings.

Elevator Trim

The elevator trim arrived right when I finished the flaps. The cable has to be routed from the instrument panel to behind the trim lever where the two rods meet. After considering my options, I drilled some holes in the side fuselage beams, stuck some rubber gromets in there and rand the cable. I think it looks decent.

Trim Routing

These springs hold the elevator in a neutral position, and they’re connected to trim cable on the right side of the picture. I’ll have to reconfigure the wire tension when I figure out where the trim knob will be mounted. And I realized that my forward spring hole won’t work since the rear spar has to go there. So I’ll relocate that.
