Manual trim question....

I haven't completely studied each and every part included in the empennage kit, although I did do my inventory.

As I was glancing ahead in the plans, I saw the drawings about the manual trim. This is the standard option I chose, and I was wondering if the actual manual trim pieces that need to be built into the empennage are included? The actual bracketry, etc. I know the cable isn't included (maybe it comes in the finish kit?) but was wondering if I missed something on the other pieces?

Thanks!
 
Yes.. the only thing in the empennage kit you need to worry about is the trim tab horn. This piece gets shaped differently depending on the trim option you select. (Refer to Left Elevator Assembly Drawing.)

Also, there are holes that need to be drilled in the HS spar and/or the elevator spar for the cable to pass through. I don't remember exactly, check the plans.
