- Although the elevators need to be "in trail," the most important thing seemed to be to make sure the counterweight arms were flush with the elevator skin. So I used duct tape on both sides, to keep the arms flush. Worked great.
- The bushing suggested, from McMaster Carr, is too big to fit in the center bearing, so it need to be made a little thinner. I chucked it in my hand drill, then spun it while also running it across the ScotchBright wheel. I first tried with find sandpaper, but that was taking forever. The wheel did the trick.
- You need to use a long drill bit to make sure the drill bit stays straight as it goes through the bearing.
Duct tape was all that was needed to align the counterweight arm with the stab skin.
