I like the looks-of Dic k Navratil outside linkage set-up for the elevator so much that I stole his idea!! Enjoy the photos and any constructive criticisms-are welcomed!- Note* -I did clear the front edge of the stabilizer using Dick's design. Hence the several mock-ups and measure/re-measure before install points fou nd. I have about 3/4" of an inch from the top of my tail cross brace to the top of the bell crank..... - The question I do have is..... what type of connection (photos) have most o f you been using for the bell crank to cable hook-up? I understand the plan s making mention of-a clevis pin and hook connection....but what have oth ers used-in this application?- Seems to me an adjustable fork or other similar connection would be much more desirable for adjustment. Photos welc ome.- Village idiot - Kenneth M.
