Brief Description:  Controls

I went over to Joe E.'s garage. He is making tremendous headway on his CX5. I expect him to be in the air months before me. In any event, after a great deal of wasting his hanger time with hot air (I really AM a pilot now!) he gave me atremendous amount of help on the controls.

He showed me how to use his frankly intimidating drill press and lathe, and I got to use his mounted shears and bandsaw to get the transverse control rods and the elevator control rod arms cut out. He got the front arms tacked on as well, but the weather ha cut back on the light we're getting, and he had to stop as he couldn't see the puddle the TIG was making.

I really need to take some pictures of his shop. It's like experimental builder's porn.
