A relatively simple task to put the elevator pushrods in. I installed them in reverse order from the plans to facilitate access to my other workstreams. I actually built the pushrods back on 22-Jan-15.
First I put the CS-00003 Aft Elevator Pushrod after placing the F-14139 Bellcrank Mount. The mount gives much needed rigidity to the F-1037B/C Battery Angles and F-01429-L/R Bellcrank Ribs (left). A strategically cut and placed piece of cardboard helps augment pushrod movement so it doesn't get caught on the bulkhead lightening hole (right).
It took me a good hour to file down the F-01405E Idler Bracket so that the CS-000111 Idler Arms could freely travel. The clip on the right was easily bent back into place.
It's a bit of a challenge to reach the bolt that ties down the CS-00001 Forward Elevator Pushrod Assembly (left). But it can be done (right).
I still have yet to set the stick base travel and other subsequent parts of Section 36.
