Only managed to get a couple of hours on the plane tonight

So decided to get a few of the smaller jobs done

Tail wheel was disassembled and then reassembled using blue loctite on all screws, then got the fuel dot fitted and plumbed the fuel tank

Some people have had problems with the supplied hardware, so not wanting to risk it, all control rods and ball links were replaced with Secraft ones

Dont know if it was needed, and I have always used the hardware supplied from Extreme Flight in the past, but didnt want to find out the hard way that there was an issue

Nest job was to make up the extension leads for the elevators and rudder, I use Powerbox cable and crimps, and then braid all cables to prevent them from rubbing against anything

Final job for this evening was to install the elevator servos and make up the control linkages (Installing the servo wasn't fiddly at all :( )

I use two drill bits the correct size to make screwing the ball links on easier
