Magnetometer, Aileron cables, Trim planning

We had a little bit of a snafu with the mount we built for the magnetometer.  When we went to install it in the right wing, we found that we didn't have enough adjustment available to get it level within 3 degrees (per instructions for the magnetometer).  We were close, but no cigar.  One side of the magnetometer bracket was just a little short.  Unfortunately, it's harder to add aluminum than remove it.  To fix this, we cut off one side of the mount, and riveted on another piece that was a little longer and allowed us to get put the magnetometer in the right position.  We also found that we can't install the mount quite yet because we needed some aluminum rivets that were a little longer.  Those are now on order and should arrive in a couple days.

We also ran the cables for the ailerons and flaps in the right wing (we had already done this in the left wing).  Next, we planned out how we we are going to run the wires for the trim servo within the elevator.  Michael is also experimenting (with his 3d printer), with fabrication of a plastic fairing for the trim servo.
