F-4 Day

We walked this morning and picked up the mail, not much there today!  Vera had noticed another Cosmos was blooming, so we went out to take pictures.

I took some pictures of this flower, neither of us know what it is, but the flower forms that funny looking square blossom.  After getting caught up on my blog and having lunch, I went out to work on the F-4's rudder servo installation.

I amazed myself when I got it all done, the original linkage went through that yellow tube in the picture.  After the cable made those bends, it was so stiff that the rudder would hardly move.  I pulled the cable out, cut off the arm on the rudder and made up a new push rod that runs straight to the rudder control horn.  It is the one running from the smaller (right one) of the two servos.  Vera had made up some Papa Murphy's cookies, boy are they good with Coconut Pecan frosting on them.  I ate almost the whole batch while we were watching TV.
