Elevator Pivot Independent From Torque Tube
This picture and the next show the torque tube rotating with the elevator pivot remaining fixed. And it shows the bracket that now keeps pivot from moving (There's no real force, just the friction from the sleeves I added.) My previous picture post shows internals/additions/cuts. I also added rod ends to the Elevator tube to accommodate the new angular motion between the stick and the elevator crank.

Thanks Paul. But I still try to remember that "better is the enemy of good enough" (except when it comes to safety).
