Brief Description:  Rudder and elevator controls

Things were going smoothly untill I fitted the Fin. I could not get enougth up elevator throw as the elevator horn was hitting the fin post.
After lots of messing around I drilled out the elevator horn, replaced the elevator root ribs and moved the horn forward as far as it would go, that fixed that problem.
Made up the bottom part of the rudder hinge, made the cable adjusters. Fitted the cable bushing's and ran the cables through.
Made the rudder return springs and fitted them, dont like them much as they are not a straight pull on the cables, might investigate shorter springs direct from the pedals to the firewall.
Made up the tailwheel pushrod, modyfied the tailwheel end by fitting a bushing, going to fit a ball link under the rudder horn.
Also swapped the undercaridge top bolts to normal AN's from stainless.
