Rest and Maintenance Day

Today is a rest day and I took advantage of the free time this morning to repair the trim cable that broke in flight yesterday.  The cable snapped where it is held in place by a set screw, so with Derek's help we were able to get it resecured and back to normal operating conditions. 

Fortunately, it broke in a somewhat neutral trim position during the flight, so I could use the flaps to provide most of my trim requirements for the rest of the flight.
