I found the rod ends difficult to screw into the nutplates for the rudder. Is there any issue with taping the threads of the nutplates with a 3/8" X 24 tap? The rod ends now screw in much easier but I worry the tightness may have been expected to ensure a tight fit.
Anyone else ever worry that only six little rivets hold the nutplates to the rudder spar and the rudder is attached to the VS via the 3 rod ends that screw into the nutplates?
