Today was split between the Finishing and Electrical folders. 

I had taken the pilot stick to a local machine shop for have a brass bushing redone.  The stick had a little slop to it and I was sure that it would drive me crazy once I was flying.  It's much better now. 

Then I remounted the stick....

... and wired it to the wiring block.  I used shrink tubing on the wire to keep it from chafing any.  I like the way it turned out.  The wires don't touch anything during the full rotation of the stick.
