hi all

guess this question is really for Wayne since i think he posted the pics of
the rod end spaces.

i think i see you put small spacers above and below the rod end, is this to
allow the rod end to twist full without bottoming out on the bell crank or
penny wash above, by doing this the rod ends stop twisting on their threads
in the control tube, i assume this is only done at the bell crank end since
the other end of this control rod is inside the main control tube, is this
correct Wayne, if so do you recall the length of the spacers required

thank

Subject: control rod end spacers


When the tubular spacers ar used to minimize the rod ends turning in the
aluminum tube end fittings it is important to orient the rod ends in the
tube so they are in the same plane at each end. If this is not done
before final adjustment and locking the jam nuts there will not be a
full range of rod end motion (even with the spacers).
