test-hung elevators on VS

1.5 hours.
Yeah, that’s a long time to hang a couple of control surfaces on rod-bearings. But I was distracted by multiple things and I was by myself. The left elevator is a little aft-heavy. This may have come from misdrilling the counterweight, then flipping it over so the holes would line up with the protruding part going the right dorection. I had to cut off some of the inboard lead to get a good fit. Fortunately, I have a spare counterweight, so adding lead isn’t going to be a problem. The right elevator is forward-heavy, as it should be. Still to do: Drill the control horns for the bolt in the center bearing.
