That being when the stick torque tubes are mounted to meet the now higher (water line) long aileron pp tubes on the aft end and the new underslung interconnect pp tube on the forward end the hard steel link (vertical connecton) from the stick torque tubes down to the aileron bellcrank are too long by about an inch and three-eights. The factory is having new link rods made up one inch shorter according to Mark. Hopefully, they will be available soon. Meanwhile, 5/16" dia all threads from the auto parts store suffice for rigging and allow construction to continue. Is that as clear as mud?
