RE: New updated Fusion manual online!
Thanks, I pride myself in technical writing! The changes are some new photos added for the fuse construction (no changes but just clarification) and the construction of the elevator torque rod assembly. The reduce torsional flex between both sides of the control horns, the length of the bushing and carbon pivot shaft need to be reduced so they only protrude roughly 1/4" from either side of the fuse. The pushrod from the servo arm can either be bent slightly to accomodate the offset or better yet, one can use a ball link style attachment.

RE: New updated Fusion manual online!
One more note for all Fusion builders:
Replace the supplied solid carbon torque rod shaft with an 8-32 bolt about 2 1/4" long. Use 8-32 nuts to secure the control horns on both sides in place. The carbon rods even though they are solid and short still exhibit too much torsional flex from side to side. This creates slop in the right hand elevator. Use the 8-32 bolt and make sure all pushrod links are solid and you'll be fine.
