Having perused the preserved wisdom of this board going back to 1997, what's the best way to keep Mr. Rust from doing the nom-nom-nom on my carefully-crafted 4130 fittings? Thanks to my friendly neighborhood college-chem-lab person I can dip them in phosphoric acid (with all appropriate safety...

I have recently ended up with one of these in my possesion. The wings have been removed and it was in storage. I don't understand how the elevator connects to the elevator tube, which in turn connects to the control column. There are no connection points on the elevator. Does anyone have any...
