Brief Description:  Installed control linkages & AP servos.

Started the day by disconnecting both ends of the fuel pump to fuel valve tubing, and moving it so as to get a good look at the area under the flap handle. The denting was really minimal. Made the decision that it didn't need to be replaced. Polished it up a bit with ScotchBrite and reconnected and torqued both ends. Then temporarily installed the fuel tank, and connected both supply and return lines to be sure they fit OK. Removed the tank. Now I can prime and paint it at my convenience.

Having done the above I was ready to continue installing control linkages in the tunnel. Fabricated the long roll pushrods and installed them and other linkages. Then went back to the autopilot section and installed both servos and associated linkages and wiring.

Strangely enough, the most frustrating task off the day was connecting the spade connectors (very stiff) and securing them with the long tie-wraps. Used two ties on each servo. The instructions show one each, but that seems impossible. Thank goodness they sent extras!
