The plans say that the control column can be removed as a whole once it has been fitted to the F-704 bulkhead, leaving the mounts on like this-
Right now I have the control column in place, but it's ready to come off, so I can finish the bulkhead.
I'm wondering why Van's calls for just removing the control column assembly and leaving the mounts. The assembly is attached with a series of washers that are fun to get in place (I'm being sarcastic here ), and removing them and reinstalling later doesn't sound like fun.
Why can't the whole thing come off the bulkhead, INCLUDING the mounts? That just means four bolts. Those of you ahead of me...what's the deal here?
