Brief Description:  Installed Tail Rotor Control Links

I made the final two links for the tail rotor control. Conditioning the bearings as described in the builder's manual is necessary to get the right control feel without too much resistance in control force. This should be done for all rod end bearings installed in the cyclic, collective and throttle controls. I also took some initial measurements for mounting the Lamar MC10 electric control unit and the battery. I previously made a second floor panel that fits to the aft section under the copilots seat. This looks to be the best location for the control unit. I initially had thought about installing the battery under the instrument pod on a special platform, but I'm having seconds thoughts about that. I would prefer to mount the battery as close to the starter motor as I can.
