Brief Description: Strip Pod Paint, Pinon Gear, Control
I added on addition instrument pod support to allow the pod to move closer to the pilot due to the location of the heater. So I stripped the paint with MEK to prepare it for a new paint job.
I receive the replacement pinon gear for the pre-rotator. I filed several grooves with a triangluar file to help remove the brass bushing in the pinon gear. I could not reassemble the gear without help so I will wait until Dan comes over Wednesday.
I adjusted the upper control rods to initial length (30.75") in preparation of rigging controls.
