The RV8 plans call for the bell crank to control stick pushrod to be 69 3/16". I inadvertently cut one of them to 69 1/16". Of course I can order a new length of stock and will do so if the collecive wisdom is that is the thing to do. The issue for me is that when I assemble the rod end bearing and threaded rod end to obtain the overall length of 72 11/16" I only get ~3/8" thread in the threaded rod end. Doesn't seem as though that is enough. However I defer to the more experienced heads in the group.
