I began by re-riveting the rudder pedal slider-latch mechanism. Now it's straight as an arrow. Next, I began fabricating the components of the aileron trim assembly, starting with the servo pushrod. I used a bandsaw to make the first cut of the slot, then used a series of files to open the slot up to 1/8". I used the drill press to make the three required #30 holes in the tube. The builder's manual says not to use a drill bit to open up the hole in the plastic bushing where the aileron trim push tube will go. It recommends using a Dremel tool instead. I started doing this, but decided to sacrifice a bushing as an experiment. Wouldn't you know, a series of larger and larger drill bits running very slowly in an electric drill worked beautifully. I held the bushing with a pair of padded pliers. Finally, I prepped and primed the servo mount, the pushrod support bracket, and the pushrod (except for the bottom 2" of the rod you can't see in the photo...)
