My big accomplishment today was that I drilled the holes that attach the elevator pushrod to the elevator control horns. I drilled the rearmost control horn as specified in drawing 27. I agonized for a while before drilling the hole in the second control horn because both need to line up perfectly. I did it by eyeballing it and it turned out perfect but I think I was just lucky. Some sort of spacer/jig would have been a lot safer.
I temporarily assembled the pushrod and bellcrank. Then I cut and drilled the middle pushrod and fabricated the rudder stops. I prep'ed and primed these parts.
