(10-15 step 4):  After a little stint of deburring tonight……

(10-17 steps 1 & 2):  ...... I was looking for something a little different.  So I decided to take care of the elevator bellcrank assembly.  First thing was to fashion a small spacer from a piece of .063 sheet stock.  I then drew a line down the center of it length wise.  After that came the deburring (exactly what I was trying to get away from... but a necessary evil!) of the two bellcrank pieces.  Then the two pieces were clecoed together sandwiching the bearing in between.  The spacer was then slid in between the two bellcrank pieces and the line was centered in the holes.  Keeping this line centered in the holes I made sure the spacer was centered side to side and then clamped the bellcrank pieces down on it to hold it in place while I match drilled the holes into the spacer.  Here you can see the entire assembly clecoed together.  This assembly is what will connect the push-pull tube from the flight controls to the push-pull tube going back to the elevators.
