Brief Description:  Mounting the Elevators Part 4

A good day today! It was way more involved than I first thought, but I was able to finally weld both elevator belcranks to the elevators. I debated whether to do Russ Erb's method by tacking everything in place with both halves installed, or Eric Newton's approach by doing one side then the other. I decided to go with Eric's approach as it gives me more control over the belcrank placement. After fussing with the setup for far too long I finally tacked and welded the right side, followed by the left. I know the first picture shows the degrees set at 31.5, but that's because the starting point was at 1.5 degrees. It turned out fine and I'm happy with the result. On to the trim tabs!
