Default RE: Sig LT-40 Build

It's hard to have idle time and not work on my plane...

Figured I'd install the elevator control hardware...

Mounted the control horn:



I used a dremel cutting wheel to clean up the ends of the machine screws(take off the point):



Used great planes metal clevises, 2-56 Dubro partial threaded rods and 1/8" carbon fiber pushrod material



Black Flash CA glue was used to secure the metal rods on the ends of the carbon fiber rods.



Was pretty cool to control a control surface with my radio for the first time.

Total build time: 67 hours
