Setting up the 10 degree slope called for means that the aileron crossover tube won't clear the nose wheel housing. It seems plain that the forward torque tube bearings have to be raised enough for it to clear. My question is: what's a good height for the crossover tube? If it just clears the housing it seems it'll be below the lower edge of the instrument panel. In that position could someone's leg hit it? If it was set higher could it interfere with engine and prop control placement? My instinct is to have it just above the bottom of the instrument panel but I'd like to know what has worked for other builders. Thanks very much- Bill Wade
