Aileron Trim

I wasn't up for fighting with the canopy tonight, so instead pulled out the electric aileron trim to see how that all goes together.  I neglected to take photos of the actual fabrication and how the mechanism all goes together, so here's a beautiful picture of the plans:


I drilled the holes and notches in the block that holds the pivot arm.


Lots of layout, drilling, nutplates, etc later, I had the attach bracket made and the block and pivot arm mechanism attached.  I screwed the bracket to the center seat ribs.  I haven't located and attached the servo motor itself yet.  That'll be up next.
