Trim Servo Cover Continued...

Well after finishing up the cover I realized it wasn't wide enough to allow the passage of the trim servo wires into the void of the elevator (between the fabric). I was concentrated too much the process of making it. So, I needed to start over. Not all bad, I wasn't really happy with the first cover anyway.

I've spent the past week making a new mold and laying up the new part. I'm much happier with they shape, size and finish of this one. However, there were a few voids caused by the resin leaking past my seal again. I was able to fill them with Hysol.

Hold drilled for wire pass though. Outline of the front of cover. The vertical line beside the servo represents the outside edge of a structural member the wires have to go around.
