Elevator controls: 4 hours


  • Adjusted stick grips, applied loc tite and torqued set screws.
  • Positioned forward push pull tube in tunnel.
  • Clamped elevator in neutral position and temporarily attached aft push pull tube.
  • Adjusted aft tube to bring the bell crank vertical.
  • Adjusted auto pilot pitch servo linkage for bell crank position.
  • Adjusted forward push pull tube for slightly forward stick (5-6 degrees) in neutral elevator position. I also put the seat in and checked hand position and elevator travel. Both of the push pull tubes fit almost perfectly and only required small adjustments.
  • Permanently bolted forward push pull tube to bell crank.
