The BellCrank, as the top rotates toward the rear of the aircraft, contacts the jam nut on the rod end bearing. The pictures tell the story.
I could add washers/spacers between the rod end bearing and the bellcrank, but then then I would also have to add additional spacers on the other end (where the rod end bearing attaches to the servo control arm) to keep the pushrod straight. But, I don't have any more room to do that there, and leave enough room for the nut. I would have to use a longer attachment bolt, which would seem to make the attachment weaker and subject to movement back and forth as direction is changed.
I can't help but think I have something wrong here, since I haven't seen this problem on VAF. Can anybody see anything wrong from my pictures?
