* Step 4: Some builders prefer CNC machined cable anchor brackets (WD-415) over the welded ones that come with the kit (Vans did have issues with the first version of them since they only had a weld on one side of the nut). Do your research before ordering a set from iflyrv10.com. See [https://www.facebook.com/groups/vansrv10/posts/7196160973838273 this FB post].<br>Consider using fasteners instead of rivets to attach WD-415. If they are riveted, you need to rotate the entire access cover to adjust the length. It's possible, but it takes to move the F-1095A trim mount bracket all the way aft to have enough cable sticking out. | * Step 4: Some builders prefer CNC machined cable anchor brackets (WD-415) over the welded ones that come with the kit (Vans did have issues with the first version of them since they only had a weld on one side of the nut).

* Step 6: You can use solid rivets instead of blind rivets on the bottom skin if you really want to. If you can fit your bucking bar through the lightening hole on the front spar, then you can turn the elevator and set it vertically resting on the tip rib assembly. This lets the bucking bar sit flat and gravity helps hold it in place. You can get your fingers through the lightening hole to hold it while using normal rivets. | |||
* Step 12: do NOT alternate directions of the rivets like you did on the rudder; make sure the factory (flat) head is on the top skin of the elevators. | |||
