Pitch Servo Tray

I pulled the pitch servo tray for painting. Before I painted it I wanted to add a stiffener to it for good measure. The bottom of the tray has to span a distance from one attach point to another which allows minimal flex. I wanted to prohibit that flex so I added the stiffener. Not a big deal, just a piece of angle bracket material Hysol'd and riveted to the edge of the tray. Once fitted, I left it to cure before spraying primer.

Eventually, this part will be sprayed with a 2k gray epoxy paint that matches the gray powder coat on the fuselage. There are many parts to be painted like this and I will do them all at the same time.
