Elevator Linkages

Finished up the elevator linkages over the weekend, have had do do a few things for school since then so have not had time to work on the model. Hopefully tomorrow I will finish the rudder. I'm hoping to have her up and flying within the next week (keep your fingers crossed).
I was having trouble keeping the soldered clevises straight on the push rod during soldering, and didn't have my multi clamp tool so here is the idea I had. Very simple and handy when your trying to keep those clevises straight while soldering. Also don't even breath on them till a few seconds after you have soldered them... the solder is still liquid from the heat and it will allow movement of the clevis if not held in place.
