position in the fuselage. When the pushrod is in
the correct position it will be at the very bottom
of the slot in the former.

medium CA as you might need to break it loose if
maintenance is required to the fan and motor.

elevator control horn wire. The end of each control
horn will be flush with the end of the wire as shown
