Fabricated auto pilot push rod bracket from spare 2″ aluminum angle and bolted it to bottom LH side of control frame with AN3 hardware. Upon initial fit of the frame, discovered that aileron stops were contacting ends of spar tunnel bolts so trimmed approximately 3/8″ off each end of aileron stop. Stops still contact frame at proper angle so function was preserved. Tested fit of auto pilot pitch servo and checked that motion did not exceed Dynon’s 100 degree limit; trail check good. Bolted control stick frame to fuselage and lubricated bushings with white lithium grease. Bolted control frame to elevator push rod then installed cotter pins in all rotating hardware.
