OK, I'm continuing to work with the control system in the -8. As of this evening, I've set up the elevator stops, but there's one thing that's still bothering me from a few days ago. When I first hung the control column in the fuselage, I essentially took a wild guess at how the rod ends on the forward and aft control mounts should be adjusted, mostly just raising the column until the F-840 tube didn't scrape on the center of the two bulkhead cutouts.
Before I call the elevator work done, though, I'd like to actually get those adjusted to where they ought to be. But I can't seem to find any sort of instructions or specs as to how to adjust those. Am I missing this information somewhere, or is this just a case of "adjust them as needed to stuff moves freely?" In that case, I imagine I won't get a final adjustment until I have the wings on and the ailerons rigged...
