MAY 12th, PAGE 31-13

George got some new pins and he decided to go ahead and solder them on the wires I think I already mentioned how difficult it was to run the wires around the rudder pedals and I have the bruise from it.
We put on the plastic ties and made the wiring look a little neater.
PAGE 31-14 it calls for the sub backshells for the connectors but we didn't get any in our kit.
PAGE 31-15 was straight forward with the ELT bracket.
PAGE 32-02 had us installing the brake reservoir, unfortunately, we called Vans and told them that we thought the reservoir was faulty, so they sent us another one on the next day. We installed the nylon tee in the reservoir, but it still doesn't feel right.
PAGE 32-03 George worked on the flap handle while I worked on wiring.
PAGE 32-04 was frustrating in that it took me 2 hours putting on the flap handle pushrod assembly, which was my fault. I could have done them in 10 minutes had I simply used a mirror.
PAGE 32-05 was more tedious work, making holes line up and gluing washers on bearings so we could install bolts and nuts.
PAGE 32-06 George fabricated more parts from stock for the flaperon pushrod assembly.
PAGE 32-07 was more building for the flaperon detent bracket/stop. no problems.
We stopped on page 32-08 after cutting the nylon spacers for the flaperon torque tubes.
