Decided to skip attaching the Horizontal to the Fuse until I could clear the correct amount of space in the hangar, so it was spent working on the control tubes and associated items.

First off was drilling the Elevator Control horns, this was something we had put off as well. Using a .250 piece of tubing and a drill that fit exactly to the ID of the tubing, it went well. As with all of the horns, it seems like they don’t match up exactly, but we had the surfaces matched in trail, since that is the important piece.

Finished fabricating the elevator bellcrank.

Elevator bellcrank temporarily installed.

The first control tube drilled (F-481) and clecoed. Ready for primer.
