Rigging the elevator

I got the rigging done on the elevator...
Control stick at 80 degrees to the floor, forward of perpendicular with the elevator trim 1 5/16" down from the vertical stab tube... This is considered neutral. The elevator is clamped in line with the horizontal stab, and the forward and middle push/pull tubes were adjusted with 1/2" of thread from the tube to the ball link... then the rear push/pull tube was adjusted to fit.
Once the linkage was all adjusted to neutral, then the travel stops on the control column were adjusted to give 20 degrees down elevator and 39 degrees up elevator.
