Hey all,
I did some initial fitting of my pushrods, with controls and control surfaces in place, and came up a bit short (i.e. less than half of a bearing engaged) on two of the pushrods:
- right aileron (stick to bellcrank)
- elevators (stick to bellcrank)
I'm pretty sure my pushrods were constructed to the lengths specified on the plans. I'm curious if other people have encountered this? I didn't get a chance to debug this problem too much yet so I thought I'd check here first.
One thing I want to try: re-chcek the aileron with the elevators in neutral position. Another thread was talking about some small changes in aileron position when the elevators are fully deflected.
Thanks - Paul
