Continuing on with setting up the tail control surfaces. All I had to do here was set the lengths of the pushrods going from the mixer to each ruddervator. In order to set the right length, the plans say to hold the stick all the way aft and set each ruddervator to 10 degrees up relative to the tops of the stabilators.
I used bungee cords to hold the stick all the way back, and then I made a 10 degree template out of a piece of cardboard. That made it pretty easy to set each pushrod to the right length.
I'll have to take the stabilators back off again anyway because I still have to do the fiberglass stabilator tips, but now that everything is set up they're be quick to put back on.
