I even called Van's to ask what to do. They had not gotten any complaints and I finally understand why.
First, I found that part of the problem is that the ends of the springs are not wound to the right orientation, and at a certain tension, almost fully stretched to the stops on the stick, they would 'twang' over to the other orientation.
It helped some to bend the ends of the springs a small amount to get them to sit in a more stable orientation where the end loops go through the control column tabs.
Next, I tried putting some vinyl tubing on the loops where they go through the tabs. I think I gave up, there wasn't enough room.
I did get to the point where they only twang at nearly the full control travel of the control column.
Then, I assembled the airplane and the aileron travel is limited by the stops at the control surfaces, and I don't think it ever really twangs now.
But it is totally true that it is among the noises that will go away immediately when the engine starts.
So, I think you can ignore this - it won't be an issue when you are flying.
