I started with fabricating parts. F837 called out dimensions to 1/32. I carefully measured, checked and cut. When I got done, I realized that the dimensions were non critical. Oh well, good practice.
I had a little trouble fitting the control weldament in place. It has to go in from the front baggage area, making it a one-time deal.
I mounted up the rodends and drilled the holes for F837. We now have controls for both pilots. They just don't go anywhere.
I prepped the push rod tubes while I as in the paint booth. I trimmed the elevator push rod to length. Tomorrow, I mount the rodends.
