Elevator & Diving Controls #8

I've started welding in the controls for the diving planes and the elevators.  The levers stick out a little further than I hoped, so I'll need to extend them up a little bit so there's still enough room for my legs on the rudder pedals.

Next I'll be working on the the ballast release system.  Once that's welded in I can put a floor cover over where the rudder cables will be, so that they are protected as I climb in.  Then a bracket to hold the throttle lever on the opposite side to the control levers here and then it'l be time to weld the tower in place.
