Be a little careful here. Remember when you adjusted the aileron linkages, you
had to lock the elevator in neutral? If you try to tie the stick full aft with
a rope or seatbelt, the ailerons will want to rise up a bit, exerting a lot of
force on the linkages if they are rigidly clamped to the flaps.

| Subject: | Rivets in backwards on elevator hinge brackets |
I accidentally riveted the elevator hinge brackets on my RV-10 horizontal
stabilizer rear spar with the manufactured head on the inside of the spar
rather than on the hinge bracket side. The instructions clearly state to
put the mfg head on the bracket side (I know, I know, read the directions
before riveting, not after!) It was easier for my squeezer to work it that
way, and I chose the easy way. So my question is does it really matter
which way the rivet is installed? I would think it's not an elevator swing
clearance issue or a strength issue. So what am I missing?
