Center Spar Autopilot Brackets - Ailerons

The brackets for the Garmin aileron autopilot servo, which came with the kit, were installed on the center fuselage rear spar. Aligning the nut and bolt to mount the angle bracket was a pain, so a center punch and needle nose pliers were used to line them up. The photos follow the build sequence.
