Starting make up of pushrods & linkages. You can see the support pedestal for the long rudder pushrod, it's made out of balsa with a 1/8" ply piece glued to top. I set up everything right down to trimming the radio before any paint work begins. I look at it this way, the less you have to mess with putting it together once it's painted, the less chance you have of scratching that new Concours paint job.
