Connected all elevator pushrods. Where the F-789 pushrod connects to the bellcrank just aft of the baggage bulkhead, it was next to impossible to get the required washers in there with the bellcrank installed, so I pulled the pivot bolt out, which allowed me to lift it up and get the lower pushrod attached correctly (the upper one was already attached) and then drop it back into position and reinstall the pivot bolt. On the fwd end, I had partially installed the control stick assembly a long time ago. I had left the pilot stick out so it wouldn't be in the way, but after today, I wish I had put the whole thing in as a complete assembly. I finally got everything together but it would have been a lot easier if I had done it all on the bench. I looked through the plans, the prints, and on VAF and never could find a spec for where the stick should be positioned when the elevators are in neutral. The only advice I found was to make sure it doesn't hit the panel when full fwd. I tossed in a pillow and sat in the airplane to see what felt right, and set it where it seemed like it should be before sticking a bolt in the fwd end of the F-789. Torqued all fasteners, including jamb nuts. Started trimming the empennage fairing, and can confirm that he fit is likely going to be as bad as everyone says, but I didn't get any pictures of it today.
