Rear Elevator Pushrod end

[petehowell]

Hi ya,

Can someone point me to the location in the plans where it shows detail on the elevator horn/rear pushrod connection. I am thinking fender washers and flat washers for spacers. I see the call out for the bearing, but not for the pushrod end.

Washers on the elevator pushrod...

Like so many things in Van's kits, "washers as needed" seems to be the answer. The center bearing assembly is shown in detail on the aft spar of the horizontal stablilizer. Whatever washers you put there establish the separation of the elevator control horns for the end of the elevator pushrod. Since a rod-end bearing is between those horns, you can decide what, if any washers are used there, based on the final fit.
