Started the flight controls. As I had previously installed the brake fluid reservoir I deburred the flaperon mixer bellcrank and riveted the bearings. Assembled the flap handle. Fabricated the flap handle mounting blocks. And then trial fitted the flap handle.
The fuel lines (both the supply and return line) have to be bent down in the area below the flap handle. In this area they have to be bent down so they just about touch the bottom skin otherwise the flap handle tube will rub here. I slit a short piece of tygon tubing and placed it over the fuel lines. Then used a short 1x2" to press down of the lines. It worked without denting the lines. (Can slip a credit card between the tube and the fuel line).
Installed the flaperon mixer bellcrank. Used the superglue trick to hold the bottom washer in position.
Then fabricated and tapped the control stick pushrods. Primed them.
