All,
I'm in the process of final assembly on my 4 project.(yeah!) I've set the controls up per the dimensions in the plans and the front stick is the exact dimension as show but at full forward movement it just barely clears the bottom of the instrument panel. Looking at photos I see some guys have mounted transponders etc. under the panel in front of the control stick with plenty of clearance. No way I can do that with my stick at the 19" something inches length called for in the plans. Do I need to adjust the push rod to hit max forward elevator movement of the control stick before it reaches the panel ? Am I missing something here or are guys using shorter sticks. My wife claims I over estimate how long things are but I actually measured this...
Thanks
