Title: Rudder and control connection
I've been behind on documenting the work done. I completed the structure of the tail feathers, and purchased a bellcrank for the rudder. Connected it to the base of the rudder per plans and began the fabrication of the rudder control bellcrank and the push rod that connects the bellcrank to the rudder. Original location for the rudder bellcrank is much lower, but this location required bending the rudder push rod and was not satisfactory. I moved the location of the bellcrank up higher in the empennage, and was able to use a straight control rod w/ greater success. I have tested the set up and I get a full 25deg deflection on both sides as called for in the plans. I will disassemble paint and bolt all parts in place as per plans.
