Yet another screw up. (make that plural)

On my Evo .52 powered Legacy 40 the elevator had a lot of slop. I have been trying to zero the controls but the slop kept me from doing it properly. There was only one cure and that is to run the push rod out of the fuselage side and install a new control horn. T get the push rod routed to the outside I needed a 3/4" hole drilled at an angle in line with the path the push rod would take. That path ended up being 6 inches long. when I got it drilled, with a piece o sharpened brass tube, it extended well beyond the stab. leading edge into plain sight. I had to cut a 1.250 hole in the top of the fuselage so I could get at the front end of the push rod to free it from the flap control horn. There I noticed I had put the rod into the wrong hole so I could fix multiple errors at the same time. I was able to cover most of the exit hole with trim kote and the hole in the fuselage top with black trim that kinda looks like the checker board on the wing. I also weighed the plane and it's 66 ounces. There's nothing I can do about that error. The other Legacy 40 weighs 53 ounces. I went way overboard on the paint o the other one. The controls are nice and not sloppy and I want to test fly it if the wind dies down. Before I cut into the fuselage I had trouble with the leadout guide. I had to cut into the wing tip, on the bottom, and during that repair I managed to break the guide off and had to fix that. During that repair I managed to glue the slider to the plywood guide. During that fix I managed to break the guide off it's mount again. I was more careful with the glue this time. The new Pathfinder got clear coated this morning. It's drying now and hopefully will end up close to 52 ounces ready to fly. That's what I figured anyway and that's what the old one weighs.
