I have an older 8A kit, serial number 80538. The pushrod that attaches to the front stick and the rear stick bottomed out on the control column. I tried adjusting it in every way I could think of....no joy. When I pulled the stick back I could feel the "thump" when the pushrod end hit the bottom of the control column.
I called Vans. They told me that there had been a problem with the early kits and that a new pushrod had been designed with tapered ends that eliminated the problem. They are sending me one.
I wanted to pass this along to the rest of you who may have early 8/8A kits in case you experience the same problem.
