Tonight I finished a couple of wing-related jobs. I wired a connector onto the Trim Servo, and corresponding right wing wiring harness. Then I worked on a wing cradle modification in preparation for moving the wings to the airport.
For the servo, I installed a 9-pin d-sub connector. I contemplated different arrangements, and eventually settled on a d-sub connector. I plan to safety-wire the two connector halves to prevent them from loosening, and to keep the wiring secure I glued a zip-tie holder onto the servo housing using some epoxy glue.
I still haven’t installed the tabs onto the pushrod, which is what the servo attaches to via a couple of springs. I need to do that before the wings are attached, but I’m slightly concerned I may end up needing to adjust the pushrod length when I rig the ailerons, and that might require a rotation of the pushrod.
On the wing cradle, I made a fitting to hold the wing spars in position on the cross beam. I’ll add a padded “cap” to the fitting to grip the spars and prevent any movement.
