The control rod that connects from the idler arm to the elevator drive horn is made up of two pieces, a long aft section and a short forward segment. The short segment has a sleeve welded to it that the long section gets inserted into and is then mated to it. Before drilling, you make sure the elevator is at the down stop and that the yoke frame is 1/16” from the spar tunnel. Then you drill clean up and bolt.

      These last two pictures show a temporary bolt in place. I was one bolt short because the parts list that Wicks went off of is for the standard build, not the lowered seat option. I received a much longer bolt that would run through the tube offset from the center line shown in the last picture.
