Default Stabilator Stay/governor-OPPS what went wrong?

I took out the old trim servo and put in a new one. The brass tab was snapped off as someone pressed down on the trim tab.
Thats all re assembled but now I notice that the stabilator flies around.
(I've looked through the plans and can't find it)
problem: looks like the stabiliator has a governor which is attached to this part on one end and then something that comes through the empannage on the other.
Can you tell me how to fix this as airplane is now always ready to fly again (after many, many months)
****

I have no recollection of disconnecting this and if it connected to something within the empennage then I would have tied a rag or something to it so that it could not escape within.
The stabilator flies all the way up. Notice the tribute I have to Col. Wesley Scheimer on the rudder, the maker of this fine aircraft.

Looks like you are missing the lower stabilator cable. Probably back in the tailcone. Maybe post questions like this in the RV12 specific forum.
Cheers, DaveH
