Vern at = Lancair said that earlier versions of the actuator were superceded by = units with a shorter throw. He sent me one of the later units. It was = the same as the one already installed. Vern also said that they had = supplied spacers with the earlier versions of the actuator which were to = be installed inside the cylinder and thus limit the throw internally. He didn't have any in stock so I made one out of an aileron push tube = rod end spacer. The spacer fits like it was made for that purpose. = With the spacer cut down to about 3/16" and installed in the cylinder = the piston throw is perfect. I'm not an engineer, so anyone who wishes to use this solution should = proceed accordingly.
