Since we're simultaneously working on a few sections, why not start on yet another? Can't think of one good reason! :-)
While we're waiting for proseal to cure, we skipped ahead to section 23 to start on the aileron actuation section. This part of the plans involves constructing a series of pushrods, bellcranks, bearings and torque tubes that will translate pilot input to movement of the ailerons.
No pictures today either (I think we're getting lazy with the camera... need to change that) but basically we got through page 23-4 step 2, which means the four pushrods have been fabricated, as well as the outboard bellcrank installed. Still need to build the forward and aft torque tube assemblies, and clock everything together. We'll work this in as time permits, no huge rush on completing this section either.
That's about it for today, it was a relatively short day in the shop! Tomorrow if we're feeling crazy we might try and knock out the flap trailing edges and bottom skins, and see about patching the one small leak in the L tank.
