Construction began on a mount for the autopilot servo that will control the ailerons. A 3 5/8 x 10 1/2 inch aluminum plate was cut from a sheet, deburred, and four holes were precisely measured and drilled so that they match up with the mounting holes for the control stick mixer. This plate will mount under the control stick mixer. Hours: 1.5

The new parts arrived from Aircraft Spruce and a new push rod on the pitch aileron servo needed to be made. The part was clamped and the solid aluminum rod was centered drilled. One side was drilled so it could be tapped for a 1/4-28 and the other side so it can be tapped for 10-32. The correct rod ends were installed on each end. The push rod was then installed between the pitch servo and the elevator bellcrank. Hours: 1.5 ( Additional Time)
