Working on project setting up elevator and finding the position of the control stick is further forward than I would have expected with elevator in the neutral position. Full forward movement put the stick into the panel. Seems the short push rod is just a bit short. Pulled out push rod and length is exactly what is recomended in the plans. Im afraid i need to build another pushrod with an additional 1/2 inch in length. Question is "where is the stick supposed to be with elevator in the neutral position?" Seats and cusions are in, I have shorteded the long push rod so I think Im hooped.
Calling Van's now to see what they suggest and order new push rod materials. One last item: Cannot for the life of me locate the bolt that holds the nose gear leg in the engine mount. Anyone know the description for that bolt and I will order that too once I get the Vans folks on the phone.
Thanks in advance, Cheers G
