Manual Reference:  7-11
Brief Description:  Aileron pushrods.

I marked and drilled the holes for the MS-42 blind rivets that will retain the threaded end caps on the large pushrods. I kept the caps in the freezer and used a heat gun to warm up the ends of the tubes then smacked them in place with a hard rubber mallet. I will hold off on setting the blind rivets until next time I have some primer mixed up because I want to 'wet set' these.
