Brief Description: Weight molds and servo mounting

Didn't have a whole lot of time today, so progress is limited. I enlarged and refined the wooden molds for the elevator weights, and am ready to make the mold forming frame to contain the sand mold. Also today I removed part of the left upper skin core material to accommodate the servo without interference. I'm glad I decided to fit the servo before closing out the elevator, as the manual suggests. It turns out the the upper skin core places the trim servo in interference with the inspection panel. So I removed the appropriate amount of core and formed a micro/flox fillett at the corners. After I rivet the nutplates for the inspection panel, I'll be ready to form the left elevator capstrips.
