 Now we need to cut the push rod because it is too long. Place the ball-end in the flap slot
and temporarily fix it between the forks of the pivot rod. Then lay the pivot rod down
and assure that ball-end is facing the wing root and not the wing tip.
 Now place the push rod so that it rests on top of the ball-end and lift the pivot rod, along
with everything else, towards the wing slot. The key is to lift the pivot rod until it's upper
edge is 16 mm below the wing surface. This is difficult to “eyeball”, so it is suggested
you make a similar tool as shown in the photos below, which can be aligned with the wing
surface and pivot rod's upper edge. A diagram of Pipistrel's tool is in Appendix 13.
 Once this is accomplished, mark the push rod where it meets the end of the ball-end.
Then release the pivot rod and raise the push rod so that it's end is sticking out of the
airbrake slot and prop it up with something. The push rod can now be cut where marked.
