After showing my tech counselor the responses and his consultation with a old school A&P I am doing a few further steps. First off, I should say how impressed people are with this group as I am. I don't think I would have gone from a pile of spruce and plans to a largely completed aircraft without the experience here. The plan is to install the tail surfaces, rig them and see if the problem resolves, I am sure that Skip Gadd's input will prove to be correct. So I installed the H and V stab, and I have the cables run from the bellcrank and are laying next to the control horns. In order to allow tension to be adusted I am thinking a fork fitting for the top of the elevator cables, and a turnbuckle on the bottom. Then on the rudder, a fork on one side and a turnbuckle on the other. Am I sound here? I have never seen much guidance on this, the plans only cover one on the ailerons for leveling. I have the three turnbuckes and 3 forks as well as a kerney swager which I have used for allot of the cables so far. Oh, and I passed my checkride last week, tailwheel endorsement to start soon! -Scott________________________________________________________________________________
