Brief Description: Connect Elevator cables to Control Stick
Still waiting on avionics. Decided there was no reason to wait for avionics to install the elevator cables. I also decided not to follow the suggested location for these which was in the center console. Just getting the bolt in the stick that connects to the aileron tube was enough for me to know that getting turnbuckles in there and then safety wiring them would be the ultimate challenge and a high level of frustration. So I moved the location of the elevator turnbuckles to the area in the fuselage above the bottom hatch door. This gives plenty of space to work and make the connections with ease. It took a couple of tries before I got the cables set like they should be and adjusted to around 40#s of tension. I also made sure I had some more turns on the turnbuckles so I can retension them after they stretch some. I will safety wire them after they have set for a while and I check the tension on them again.
