*  Laid out parts and photographed them to be able to know if they were delivered

*  Bolted the elevator tie rod to each elevator

*  Found neutral position for the elevators. (4 deg down at the elevator widest part)

*  Set elevators up for 25 Deg above neutral

*  Set 1/8" clearance for forward elevator bellcrank

*  Used rib stitch cord to find exact distance from mounting holes on elevator bellcranks for push/pull tube

*  Cut tube to length, opened tube ends to accept rod ends

*  Drilled and bolted rod ends to push tube

*  Added bearing ball ends and set to length

*  Installed elevator push tube and secured at both ends to bellcranks

*  Installed rudder and found that it rubs on elevator in the up movement. It will have to have material removed or the elevator hing line moved forward

*  Opened holes to 1" in rear bulkhead for rudder cable clearance

*  Marked  both front and back cockpit flanges along scribe line molded into gellcoat. Randy Edwards helped mark the lines since they were very hard to see.

*  Sanded flange to match marked line.
