Elevator Control Mechanism
Here is the recently-mounted elevator control mechanism at the top rear of the vertical fin. When the horizontal tail mounts here, the elevator fits into this white piece and is thereby controlled. This will allow the horizontal tail to be removed at will--a very convenient feature for some people.
Since I don't yet know exactly how I'll set the elevator (equal movement up and down, or something else) I am not going to use threadlocker on the connection where the twistum is, yet. I put the twistum there to remind myself of this. Note that the other nuts seen here have red paint on them and also (invisibly) had blue threadlocker applied. The red paint will allow me to instantly see if these have moved, come inspection time.

Working on trim system now, and this is quite difficult.
