Seem like since Thanksgiving I've not had too much time to work on 45HS! I did manage to get the following completed:

- Set elevator travel in accordance with specifications: down = 20 degree; Up = 23 degree; +/- 1 degree.
- Started preliminary tension of cables. Set rudder and elevator
- Worked for hours on getting the travel correct on the aileron and flaps. I needed to step back a little bit to make sure I was doing this correctly. After much thinking and experimenting (and reading), I've realized the down setting on the aileron is the most critical and the 'up' travel will be where it is. I paused working on this so I could figure out what I was doing wrong with the aileron travel as I had it set correctly (or so I thought) when I mounted the wings the first time.
- Made a crossover cable guide template....checked everything...looked good. Made an actual crossover cable guide from Phelonic material and it worked out okay but I still have some cable rubbing so I need to make a new one. Ordered materials to fabricate a new guide.
- Started install of comm 1 and comm 2 antennas on wings. Made doubler plates
- Installed GMU 11 in RH wing access port
- Moved more stuff out to the hangar and purchased a 140,000 BTU heater!
