Bolted the elevators and rudder in place. I must say that getting the nyloc nuts set in place was more luck than technique. I think that using needle nose pliers to hold the nut while using a ratcheting wrench on the bolt side may have worked the best. Then mounted the elevator push rod and adjusted the rod end bearings using the bell crank jig. Next I threaded the Trim Cable to the Pitch Trim Cable Attachment Brackets. These are very nicely milled aluminum brackets made by IFLYRV10.com. Too bad nobody will ever see them. To check the Ray Allen trim servo operation I rigged up a battery to the switch provided with the servo. Worked very well. Then worked on rigging the trim tabs. Took some time to adjust and finally got it so that the deflection seems correct with the tabs aligned with the elevators when in the neutral position.
