Brief Description: Cut Elevator Control Rod/Wood Legs

Measured and cut F-690 control rod to proper length. Made wood legs for stabilizing the fuselage. These were screwed to the wood false spar. Found that two holes for the trim cable need to be drilled in bulkheads F-604 and F-605. Ordered 6061-T6 1''x1'' and 1 1/2''x1 1/2'' angle, fitting cap, and many cushioned clamps from Wick's. Bernie Ockuly stopped by and dropped off all of his scrap material from his -7A, as well as a 4' stick of 1x1x1/8'' 6061-T6 angle.

Wood legs attached the false spar

Fuselage leveled to zero degrees along the longeron

Roll axis of fuselage leveled to zero degrees
