Brief Description:  Aileron and roll servo, wing fairings

Re-spaced the aileron rod ends at the control sticks to resolve a binding issue. The parts drawings on pages 08-01 and 08-02, part #23, indicate a spacer 5/16 inch long. This did not allow the rod end to pivot far enough to allow full elevator movement without trying to loosen the rod end at the jam nut. I made four 5/32 inch spacers and installed them on each side of the rod ends going to the wing. This allowed just enough rotation to eliminate the binding. this would have been much easier at the initial assembly out of the airplane.
We began to install the wing root fairings. The plans show these riveted to the wing skin. I did not like these not being easily removed for inspection and maintenance. Rather than rivets, I used rivnuts and #6 stainless screws. Got the two forward fairings on the left wing installed. They need to be removed and painted when the others are done.
