Dick and Mac hard at work.

Far Right:  A close up view of the fin (left) and rudder top.  The tail structure will be cable braced top and bottom.

Another picture of the tail feathers.

Far Right: The following pictures are of how we modified the elevator and aileron control system.  The aileron torque tube will have the elevator push / pull rod inside of it.  The elevator idler bell-crank sits just aft of the aileron torque tube assembly.

Control stick end of the aileron torque tube.  The elevator push / pull rod - rod end can be seen at the bottom of the control stick.

Far Right:  Looking aft from the aircraft right side.  The seat will be located over the aileron torque tube.

Every time Dick tells me, "That's good enough."  I keep thinking what a well known pilot said.  "Oh, you want me to land on a runway!"  That was from a well known event not far from here.  Sioux City IA.

Far Right:  From the acft. right side.  The elevator idler and aft end of the torque tube assy.

Plastic (PVC) conduit union / slip joint used as a bearing for the torque tube.  Waiting on that epoxy to cure.  Darn, I do nice work!

Far Right:  A not so good picture of the hand crafted parts.  There seems like a lot of them till you start getting them finished.  Then it's not so bad.
