It occurred to me that I never included a picture of the elevator joiner wire and horn. It has been glass beaded then sprayed with a coat of primer. I was glad to see that the horn was brazed onto the joiner wire and not soldered for maximum strength.
To the keen eye, you may detect that one of the 90 degree bends is a tad bit off preventing the joiner wire from sitting flat on the table.
I bent it that way. Since the joiner wire holes drilled into each elevator halves were hand drilled, they are bound to be slightly off, resulting in both elevator halves not being in perfect alignment. In other words, one half will be slightly deflecting either upward or downward from the other. By tweaking one side of the wire you will be able to get the elevator halves in perfect alignment. This has to be done before the joiner wire is epoxied into place. If you tried to do it after, I'm sure the joiner wire would crack the balsa.
The joiner wire is now epoxied into place.
