Howdy all.. I'm on Empennage Page 11-6 step 5 (page 86 of the PDF) where you have to install the elevator push rod into the tail of the empennage and put a single bolt through the push rood and the elevator horns with washers in between.
Holy cow! How did you guys do this?
Specifically the washers between the pushrod and the horns.. it shows you need 2 per side (thickness will vary based on room)... but I'm not sure how to get those suckers in there..
My fingers / hands aren't by any stretch of the meaning "petite" so it's a bit tough. Even my wife looked at it (she does have petite hands) and said, "mmm.. no."
I thought about using double sided tape and taping them to the pushrod before installing it, but that might not be the best route forward.
looking for advice here.. =) thanks!
I can provide pictures if needed.
