Tuesday morning we walked, Pastor Pam did not make it back from her class in time, so the newly retired Don took her place. I got the new servo installed in the Yak 55, then while I was checking that out and setting up the radio I discovered the motor shaft was bent in the crash. I dug around and found a spare, then I had to change the speed control over to the new motor. This one ran really smooth and I thought I was done until I noticed there was no tail skid on it. After a couple of tries, I got one bent up the way I wanted it and installed it. Now, it is finally done, I will test fly and trim it out the next time we go flying.
Wednesday, Vera had bible study and I started installing the hinges for the Cub's elevator. I worked kind of slow today, it felt like a touch of the flu and I did not have a lot of energy.
Today was a nice day, I got the hinges all glued into the elevator and rudder of the Cub. After they had dried, I started hooking up the linkages. I did not like the way the aileron linkage was turning out, so I went to plan "B" and made my own. It was so warm out that Vera worked outside cleaning the flower beds, feeding the roses and pruning the blueberries. I saw the girls outside at the fort, so I went over to watch and visit. They were showing off their skills on the monkey bars and swings so I took a short video. Ava and Harper at the fort.
I got the pole pruner out after that and trimmed around a Christmas tree we had planted years ago. Then I got in a flight on the Vapor and the MCPx heli.
