Brief Description:  Completed rear fuselage bellcrank support arrangem

Some days you just get lucky, and today for me that was the case.
Whilst building the lowering offset of the elevator pushrod arrangement, I was constantly checking the travel of the pushrod and the fore & aft movement/ travel of the joystick.
To fully satisfy myself that the full 16 deg. up travel of the elevator and the 13 deg. down travel could be obtained, I drew the angles on the construction table and with the elevator horn bracket placed over the drawn angles, carefully measured the distance of travel of the pushrod attachment arm of the bracket. It turned out that the amount of travelI have in the pushrod is exactly the correct amount to give the required elevator movement. (Phew)

I made up and fitted floor support angles to the Bellcrank cross member and then assembled the setup for the 4th and hopefully, final time.

The day got better as I started on the upper internal corners in the fuselage and managed to complete the notching and fitting of these before beer o'clock.

The feeling of satisfaction as I left the workshop today is what it is all about.
