Elevator push/pull rod installation
When the horizontal stabilizer glue is secure, remove just enough material behind
the horizontal to allow free elevator travel mounting. On the right side use the elevator
and mark the side of the fuselage with the angle of the section across the range, along the
stroke of the elevator to cut. The cutout must be a balance between access and free
movement against the unfavorable aerodynamic effects of open space.
Screw the elevator actuation arm plate onto this half of the elevator and trim the cut
carefully to let you install the actuator through this hole while it is attached to the elevator.
Copy the cropping area on the right side, and repeat the shape of the cut on the other
side. Additional access will be needed to connect the drive rod, so a larger cutting area
with a screw in the face must be added below the cutout (do this in the same way as the
wing access panels building a flange area with nuts).
On the other half of the elevator (left), install nuts for the actuator arm plate to aid
in the final installation of the actuator arm that will occur after both halves of the elevator
are in place.
Install the elevator, and connect the long rod (tube) to the elevator horn at one end,
and from the top position of the mid horn (at the back of the rear seat) to the other end.
Adjust the length of the shank as needed to result in a vertical horn position when the
elevator is in a horizontal position. Move the elevator beyond the desired range of
movement (about 30 degrees up and 20 degrees down), and check that there is no
interference or impediment to this movement. Trim any material interfering with the
central holes in the frame. Select the shortest front pole component among the
components and set the length such that the pole mount will be in the neutral position
when the elevator is trimmed horizontally and the horn is vertical.

Rudder Horn Installation
This aircraft uses a rudder horn mounted in the cavern of station 185, connected to
the rudder cables, and with drive force transfer to the rudder.
