I safety wired the trim tab hinge pins and had to shoot some silicone on the hinges because they were creaking after spending the last five years just sitting around. Then added the pushrod assembly. I added a washer to the connection at the control horns on the trim tab because the called-out AN3-10 bolt seems long and I think the nut bottomed out. BTW, most of the elastic locking nuts in the original plans have been replaced with metal locking nuts in revisions so I'm doing that.

I connected the D-subs for the flap motor. I want to wrap those wires up tighter with something because they're going to run on the stabilator spar as it moves up and down.

Anyway, I've verified that everything fits and is in working order and now I'm going to take it all apart to work on the fairings. I think. The instructions are confusing here. They tell you to install the aft assembly and then go to Section 12. Section 12 tells you to remove everything. So, who knows how this is supposed to work.

But winter is supposed to return here later this week so not sure when I'll do all that.,
