Brief Description:  Adjusted L aileron push rods and torqued

Today I finished adjusting the aileron rod end bearings using the W-730 jig. I adjusted W-818 rod ends until the bolt slid into the bell crank easily. It was an awkward process, but not that difficult. Next I torqued all of the AN3 bolts to 25 in-lbs. I then removed the aluminum angle alignment tool and tested the aileron movement. The aileron moves easily to full deflection each direction.

This was a fun excercise and another mini-milestone with my first connected and working control surface.
