I think the Rebel part is short enough that it is not a problem John.
I'm not familiar with the Elite. Don't remember hearing of any problems
on Rebels although there is a bulletin to double the horn on the trim
tab for those of us with the older kits.

G'Day All, I guess that it applies to the Rebel as well?
Re Oshkosh,
Thanks to Ted and Dick for organising the Murphy mob get together at
Ted's Moose, got a few piccies if anyone's interested.
Including one of Bob P. looking for the beer in the Esky ;-)
Regards to all

Hi All
It's in Elite's as well. The threaded rod will try to bend under compression
from the wind loads on the trim tab, and it has weak spots all along it's
length due to the thread on it. The tube prevents the rod bending and
therefore prevents fatigue cracks setting in. (so I was once told anyway!)
