Wings

Elect Aileron Trim (4 hrs )

Installed LH Flap to confirm fit & operation, then returned to safety of "storage" room.  Aligns with Aileron well.
 









RH tank leak test completed -- no bubbles found and balloon stays inflated at least 24 hrs.  Yay !     Rec'd from Vans the 4 AN3-13A bolts (error to not include in QB kit), so I replaced the temporary  -12A bolts.

Completed Electric Aileron Trim build, Sect OP 38-04, 05 and 06.  Drilled, deburred, dimpled, primed and attached nutplates. Took several pics inside wing to confirm clearances and setup. Some with endoscope (lower resolution).
 
 

Crimped Molex Micro-fit Pins onto 5 wires, then inserted into Molex connector.   Really challenging since tiny pins.   Test fit into mating connector inside access bay.  A little stiff first, then seemed easy to re-insert.  Discovered one of the female pins was driven out of connector.  Needs to be replaced...next work session.   Fortunately I'd ordered spare pins.  [ done 1/16 ]
