Brief Description:  Frustration

First, cut the Aileron to Bellcrank pushrod in the wrong place, TWICE. Ordered a new one. Used a rule that had 64ths, and needed 32nds, and used 15/64 instead of 15/32 or something similar.

Then I got my drill bit stuck in the brass bushing trying to drill it out. Didn't used enough Boelube I guess. Ordered a new one, but eventually got it unstuck and installed.

Then I found out the bearings don't fit into the end of the Aileron to Bellcrank pushrod. I sanded a little in the tube, and a little more on the insert. STILL won't go in. I didn't want to force it since I'm waiting on a new pushrod. I'll research some more...

Managed to rough in the Bellcrank and alignment jig. Seems to work very smoothly without anything tightened down. I need to make sure I get the Roll Servo for the Autopilot before I close up the wing, so it will be easier to install. Just going to clean up the wing and put it in storage.

Enough mistakes and frustration for one day, so I called it quits.
