PA-12 Elevator Trim Spring

Its been fun. I changed the trim jack screw and yoke tonight. The only remaining issue I have is that I did not expect the spring to get un hooked after I removed the cable from the yoke. Wouldn't be a big deal but i had surgery last Friday on my neck (double disc replacement) and my mobility is limited for a few more weeks. Can anyone tell me the spring attach point? Yes, the plane was covered recently and they DID NOT cut the hole out to get the screw out. This has been a fun experience. '

Iusually install a nw jackscrew at recover. I do not cut the hole in the fabric that the jack screw comes out. I do line up the hole in the fairing between the center stringer and vertical fin so the screw can be removed when the fabric is cut. There are pictures here on page 3 and 4. https://www.supercub.org/forum/showthread.php?31253-Elevator-Spring/page3

Thanks, This plane didn't even have the hole cut in the fairing. Its been fun. I have an S1C, recovered one of my Super Vikings and completely rebuilt 2 others. Man this plane is so much easier to work on (except for this). Also figured out the spring attach point.
