Hey all,
I'm in my final rigging stage and am gearing up to modify my control sticks so that my Tosten military-style grips will not make contact with my Aerosport panel when the elevator hits the down stop. I've found many approaches in the forums:
1. bend the control stick
2. cut off the bottom of the stick to move everything back
3. buy / make an angled bushing for the Tosten grip to tilt it back ~8 degrees and gain clearance
4. add a new control stop to limit the elevator closer to the allowed 20 degrees of down travel from 25 degrees.
I am going to attempt a combination of 1 and 3, and try to avoid 2 so I don't have to redrill the attachment hole.
MY QUESTION IS: has anyone making these adjustments ended up with the full 25 degrees of allowed down travel in the elevators? I would love to keep the full allowed range here but every report I've found involved limiting elevator travel as well.
I will mock this up next time I'm at the hangar, but wanted to poll the crowd here to see if
- this is possible, or
- if there are MORE options for how to achieve clearance that I have not considered.
Thanks!
