Garry,

Yes, in this case, more is fine. I believe that quote came because there
was a guy who had his bob weight in upside down (appearing right side up,
btw). He was unable to get enough forward stick authority to exit his stall
testing and went crunch.

IMHO, the 1/4" is affectively a "no interference" requirement.

Subject: 320/360 Elevator RIGGING

Looking at the page 15-28 Rev 6/04-01-99 in "Lancair 320FB manual" where
Figure-9a is depicted, it's specified there that with full elevator down (11
degrees) the Elevator Idler arm (which supports the Bob weight) to be 1/4"
from Rear push/pull tube. My question is:

Would that be acceptable to have this distance at 0.59"
Or is it absolutely critical that I have it at 0.25"

I am maxed out on push-rods travel at this point.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions and advice.
Regards,
