Fairing Gaps/Autopilot Pushrods
Filled all gaps between the fairing and skins with flox today. The biggest gaps were around the leading edge of the horizontal stab. It'll set overnight and I can remove the fairing and do the final sanding. I moved on to completing the two autopilot servo pushrods. I'm still waiting on delivery of the servos. Hopefully in the next couple weeks. But this will be one less thing to do once they get here.

Gaps filled with flox. Mixture of fiberglass resin and cotton fibers.


Rod ends fit nicely.

After cutting 2 aluminum tubes 3.25 inches long I primed them internally. Then tapped them for 1/4-28 rod end bearings.

Jam nuts torqued and fully primed.
