solved but found another interference issue
As mentioned, I solved it by moving the fuel line coming from the fuel valve. Pretty easy fix, as it turned out. I never learned if it would hit the elevator stops first but decided the fix was easy enough regardless so I just did it.
This brings up a new one I found. On page 39-8 of the plans, if you install the lower 2 bolts in figure 3 as shown and then you put the stick as far as it will go left/right, then pull all the way back, and then try to go right/left, the stick will lock as the tail end of the bolt sticking out of the nut will catch on F-1033. My solution was to reverse the bolts. ... This is most likely a non-issue as the aileron stops will probably prevent the stick from moving this far (unverified), but again it was an easy fix so I just did it.
