I have seen the bungee in the plans, but didn't like it. I am going with the push rod. Thank you for your response. If anybody has gone this route please let us hear about it.

How are you keeping the elevater cables separated so they do not rub and
wear?

Zenith uses a bungey on one of the cables attached to the passenger side. I'm at
that stage right now, and several of the guys on this list pointed it out to
me. A picture is in the instructions.

Subject: Fork tube analysis and prospective stainless steel
substitute
On my plans built CH701, I have been polishing a few of the parts like the
landing gear and front fork. I was wondering if I could replace the front
fork tube with stainless steel parts and get a similar look. I would need
to make sure that the replacement had the same strength as the original.
So, with the help of my son, we did a SolidWorks analysis of a 4130N tube, 2
inch diameter, 21 inches long with a 0.065" wall. The top is solidly
anchored and a force is applied horizontally at the bottom. Here is a link
of the simulation video that SolidWorks made:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8uamuysV_8
The video ends when the fork tube fails. It took a force of 540 lbs. As
you can see, the tube bent a lot before it failed. If you make the fork
tube stronger you are likely to move the loads elsewhere and it will break
somewhere else.
One thing comes to mind here, if you bend the front axle and lock up the
wheel you are going to see a lot more than 540lbs. There was a picture on
this list over a year ago that showed a bent fork tube after what was
claimed to be a normal landing. I don't know how common this problem
actually is.
We substituted the fork tube with T-316L stainless steel in the simulation.
It took a wall thickness of 0.250" before we arrived at a similar result.
Since that would make the fork tube about four times as heavy, I have
decided to stay with the 4130N of the plans. I may go up one notch in
thickness of 4130N though. I might also replace the front axle with a solid
shaft. On the shaft I have now, I machined bushings and welded them in
place.

Sam.
I you are going to use pushrods you will need to change the geometry of the elevator bell crank. The cables get looser and tighter depending on the aileron position. That is the reason for the bungee cord, to take up the slack.
