Brief Description:  Fab Elevator Pushrod Tubes

Fabbing the elevator push rods is a fairly simple task so i got this banged out.

There are two tubes, the smaller one goes toward the forward fuse and connects to the control stick linkage. The large tube is back in the tailcone and connects to the elevator horns. The two join eachother t a bellcrank behind the baggage compartment.

I cut the tubes to length with a hacksaw and slid the bushings in each end. Layed out and drilled the holes then deburred all the parts. I primed the tubes inside and out then riveted the rod-ends in place with the msp-42 blind rivets. Protected and stashed back up on the shelf.
