Has anyone with an ASW-19 or other ASW ship modified the elevator for an automatic connection?

Schleicher TN-19 provides instructions for the automatic elevator connection but the instructions are not very detailed. The ASW-24 has the automatic elevator hookup of what looks to be the same design as what Schleicher calls out in their instructions.

If you have done the automatic elevator hook up modification I'm curious to how easy it was and what did you use as a reference? Any more details would be helpful.

Thanks,

Off the top of my head, it's sorta involved.
Not sure if you need to modify the horizontal tail, but the trailing edge of the elevator needs to be changed (actually, the whole elevator) and a part of it needs to be mounted to the horizontal tail.
There would also be control connection changes.

I know a few here that are MUCH better versed in what is needed. I usually just do finish polish, sometimes they let me near sandpaper..... LOL....
