Default RE: Bridi RCM Trainer

Looking through additional items that came with my RCM Trainer I discovered a package of Dubro NY-Steel Kwik Rods eliminating the need for the gold n rods. These will be used for the rudder/elevator control linkages. That is a real plus having the rudder linkage pre-bent as it has to exit the top of the fuselage then snakes around to connect to the control horn. I'm sure my father-in-law bent the rod and he did a great job. I cut a short slit in the top of the fuselage close to the rudder so the rod can exit then enough slot to move freely. The elevator rod is a no brainer as it is a straight shot and will exit the aft end of the fuselage just under the horizontal stabilizer and direct connect to the elevator control horn.
