Step 1.
The elevator linkage will be the first to be described.
Locate the components for the elevator control linkage, made up
of a wooden pushrod, three threaded rods (12", 6") three clevis,
two pieces of nylon thread, three clevis keepers, and three jam
nuts. Since the Clipped-Wing Taylorcraft uses a split elevator,
you will construct a Y-pushrod that has two threaded rods on
one end of the wooden pushrod for the two elevators, and one
shorter threaded rod to connect to the servo arm.
Step 2.
Using either a pencil or felt-tipped pen, mark

marked end. Drill a 1/8" hole at the other end marked so it is 90°
in reference to the first hole drilled.
Step 4.
At one end you drilled the 1/8" hole, make a second
