Jul 24, 2021     11-6 & 11-7: Elevator pushrod install - (1.2 hours)       Category: 11: Emp Attach
Got the horizontal stabilizer re-installed on the tailcone. Installed the elevator pushrod which meant also bolting the two elevators to each other for the first time and getting to see them move together. I also see that they are slightly out of alignment. Less than 1/16” at the tip of the counterbalance, probably tough to get it any better than that. I had the two elevator taped in trail with duct tape, but I should have actually put a clamp on them when I drilled the common attach hole.

Cut the template and adjusted the final length on the pushrod.

Checked the elevator throws again and was 28 degrees up and 23 down. I was able to file the up stop and get it to 30 degrees, but the down stop is tough to get to. That one is going to take some more filing to get to 25 degrees down.
