Brief Description:  Elevator Cables

Fabricated the shorter elevator cables that connect the bellcrank to the longer cables attached to the elevator top and bottom. Drew the 90 degree line on the bellcrank to set angle with the bottom cable. 1st cable was a bit too long and I ended up scrapping it. 2nd was better. Got the top cable length about right on the 1st attempt. Still perfecting my swaging technique. I did not tension the cables or set the bungee to prevent the cables from crossing. I will do that when I have all the controls run and the tail is ready to rivet. I also ordered som "rescue tape" to put on the swage ends to help prevent fraying and skin damage from the cable ends.

Made an initial adjustment on the control stick for neutral position comfort. I see now what some of the blog posts talk about in regards to the stick being stiff in one direction when moving sideways due to the bellcrank offset.
