Today I remade the brake fluid supply lines from the reservoir. I wasn't happy with how the right side was pulling a bit. This time I ended up running the right side line in between the rudder weldments. In my opinion, this is a better routing since it imparts less tension on the line than if it had to run over both weldments.

I spent the evening working on the flap position sensor installation. In the end I futzed with the geometry of it and got it to a point where the flaps actuate the sensor along its entire range (without hitting the ends, of course). Instead of mounting it at an angle perpendicular to the weldment's average position, I simplified things by mounting it flat against the aft flap housing support.
