RV 12 Build January 24

JANUARY 23, we started back on pg 11=03, and today was a need for very small fingers. We had to get the proper number of washers in the stabilator attach. We used masking tape to hold washers in place while we ran bolts where they were supposed to go. Page 11-04, we installed the AST assembly. We had a bit of a hard time fitting the AST onto the hinge and running the hinge pin. We did all of the items on the 22nd, while someone else was doing another part of the assembly process. Page 11-06 was doing a lot of small parts assembly. Note that the K1000-8 called out in figure 1, is a UNIQUE nutplate and can be found in the bag with the other servo parts.
JANUARY 24, we finished wiring the servo mechanism, on page 11-06. We worked on page 12=02, and used a belt sander to get the right measurements on the fairings. Went pretty quickly using the sander.
