I have an RV-6 Horzizontal Stab and Elevator that was built from a non pre-punched kit (not by me) and am trying to figure out how the manual trim control push-pull cable is supposed to be secured in the older non pre-punched elevator.
The plans (sheet 5 PPP) for the RV6 that I have are for the newer pre-punched version and show a mounting plate (E-615PP), cover (E-616PP) and Trim Cable Anchor (WD-415-1). None of this hardware is installed in my elevator.
I am hoping there is someone on the Vans Airforce Forum that has the early RV6 elevator plans still around that could make a copy of sheet 5 A (I think) of the plans available or a description of how it was fabricated. It would be a big help to understand how the elevator was constructed in the area where the trim cable exits the elevator. Right now the only option that seems viable to me is to pop rivet the WD-415-1 on the exterior of the elevator skin with the 7/16" nut on the inside.
