From looking at your progress I think you can possibly give me some insight. The "documentation" leaves a lot to be desired. I tried to contact Zenith and did not get a response.
I am installing the elevator actuator and I am finding some issues that concern me. I'll see if I can include pictures. I installed according to the drawings and I have full deflection in the trim tab. Doesn't look right, especially after seeing yours. Let me know what you think.

Thank you Keith. Exactly what I was looking for! I don't know why I was not finding this in my search. I am still learning how to navigate this site.
Now to order a new rod.
