Rudder wires and elevator pushrod

Made some brackets to get the wires further out and away from the structure. Filed the bronze bushings down to prevent the wire to get hung upon top of the rollers (and between the brackets). Replaced some of the rivets for the rackets with M4 machine screws. All in all, lots of adjustments to make the wires run freely and preventing them from jumping out between the roller and brackets.

Tried to trial fit the elevator push rod, but the vertical fin needs to be removed first. Glad I have made it removable. Still, not entirely sure how to get it in there due to the small dimensions of my small shop.

Rudder pedals and wires

Installed the rudder pedal stuff. I made several holes in the plate so I can adjust it a bit. The wire touched the fuselage several places so a bit trimming and adjustment is needed.
