Manual Reference:  C01
Brief Description:  Elevator pushrod

- Drilled the (3) 1/8" pilot holes in the elevator pushrod end fitting (photo #1).

- In test fitting the end fitting with the elevator pushrod, the two needed considerable shaving of paint and steel (grinder, file and sand paper) to the two to fit together.

- The C01 sheet simply says "the elevator pushrod should already be installed in the fuselage." REALLY!? Where the heck did that task get spelled out in the drawings? I didn't find it. This whole control system is a perfect example of the severe lack of information in the drawings, for assembly steps. The drawing tree is helpful, but there are way too many 'gotcha's'. C01 itself has a lot of useful assembly infomation. If only the sheets before it did the same! Fortunately it looks like I can get it in since the support channels in the fuselage are not yet riveted.
