RV-9A elevator pushrod lengths

[rv12iS-builder]

I seem to remember a few years ago that builders were having trouble installing the elevator pushrods. Since I have a very early kit, (and an early version of the plans), I want to make sure I have the correct lengths. My drawing 38 (Drawn 8/2/00) shows the following:

F-790 pushrod is 81 1/2 inches (85 29/32 inches including bearings)

F-989 Pushrod is 45 9/16 inches (49 19/32 inches including bearings)

Does anybody with a recent kit have different measurements?

Thank you,

dwg 38

My dwg 38 which I just got last fall shows the following:

F-790 length (brg ctr to brg ctr) = 85 29/32

Length of the tube itself = 81 1/2

F-989 length (brg ctr to brg ctr) = 49 19/32

length of tube itself = 45 9/16

Hope this helps

Dave
