Nov 01, 2021     Elevator stops, PTT wire       Category: Controls

I realized that I did not have a full up stop for the elevator planned. I welded a -3 nut on the control torque tube for both the up and down stops, then inserted a -3 bolt with a jam nut. Makes up and down stops adjustable. Also fed the push to talk wires up through the pilot control stick.
