I am trial fitting the aileron tubes to the sticks and using Vans dimension of 94-7/32 center to center the stick is over to the right about 15 deg. instead of being centered or straight up and down. I might be able to get it centered but the bearings would be screwed way out further than normal. I don't think it would be a safe thing to do. They seem to be about an inch short. Has any one else had this problem. The only fix I see is to make new tubes. Mine measure 94-1/2 right now with the bearings screwed half way in which is a little over a 1/4 inch more than the drawing and it is still short. I could make up some of the difference by lengthening the bell-crank to aileron push rod tubes but then those rod end bearing would be screwed out further than normal. Anyone out there got some words of wisdom for me?
On the good side I got to see my electric flaps go up and down under power today. I was so excited I had my wife come out and look. She tried her best to look excited too.
Oh well.
